"That word— [[satyagraha]]— is the most important word in that new history, perhaps one of the most important words in the history of the human race. “Passive resistance” was a term of some popularity at the time, pioneered by the suffragettes, but [[Gandhi]] felt it woefully insufficient. **Because what he was doing wasn’t passive, it was active. It sought out conflict, not violent conflict, but conflict between justice and injustice**, where justice would have the opportunity to prove its superiority in all ways, where injustice would be forced into the open, all its contradictions and cruelties exposed." --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[conflict]], [[rebellion]], [[leadership]], [[personal-values]] **Source** -- [[202409180127 - B - Right Thing, Right Now]]
