Non-violence leads to the highest ethics

"Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages. Until we stop harming all other living animals we are savages." Thomas Edison

thoughts?

It's a nice sentiment from Edison. I don't think all that much of Edison however. He was a pal of robber barons, J.P. Morgan in particular, and author of vicious propaganda campaigns designed to destroy Nikola Tesla.

I have little respect for Edison's personal views. This is on the mark however.

“Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”
