“Get the heat and emotion out worry, and put cold, ruthless scrutiny onto the problem, and worry loses its power. When we are worried and filled with apprehension, we become panicky and are likely to see only gloom and failure. There isn't any situation so bad that it won't become a lot better when you think rationally - and spiritually - about it.

“We have to make the first move ourselves rather than expecting it to come from the phenomenal world or from other people. If we are meditating at home and we happen to live in the middle of the High Street, we cannot stop the traffic just because we want peace and quiet.

And we must accept whatever situation arises.” PeopleIfsWorldWantFirstsHomeHappensMovingPeaceSilenceSituationAcceptingStreetsMiddleQuietRoseAriseNoiseExpectingTrafficPhenomenalMeditatingExpect NothingPeace And Quiet Author:Chogyam Trungpa

Nonviolent actions does not have to get others to be nice. It can in effect force them to consult their consciences. Nor does it have to petition those in power to do something about a situation.
