1. By Martin Luther King

2.  Not a method of cowardice, stagnant passivity or deadening complacency;  Resists nonviolently – nonaggressive physically but strongly aggressive spiritually.

3. - Consequences of violence: bitterness, disintegration of the community; - Consequences of nonviolence: reconciliation and creation of community; - Seeks to attack the evil and dysfunctional system rather than individuals caught up in and supporting the system;

4.  Does not seek to humiliate or defeat the opponent, but to win his friendship and understanding;  Keeping love at the center of one’s life – ultimately can change people and circumstances;

5.  Eros: aesthetic love, romantic love, self- oriented love;  Philia: love of friends;  Agape – understanding, creative, redemptive good will for all people;

6. Loving others not because they are likable or they do things that attract us, - but because God loves them. Loving the person who does the evil deed, while hating the deed that the person does.

7. - Something in the universe that supports justice; - It supports men and women all over the world who struggle against evil systems; - It supports people when they resist violence with wise restraint, love, proper discipline, dignity and calm reasonableness.

8. - Not to get used to; willingness not to fit into certain relationships and conditions; - King did not want to get used to: segregation, discrimination; mob/ crowd mentality; methods of physical violence, tragic militarism; - What do you want to be maladjusted to?
