Nonviolent Communication** (NVC)** is an approach to nonviolent living developed by @Marshall Rosenberg beginning in the 1960s. It is based on the idea that all human beings have the capacity for compassion and only resort to violence or behavior that harms themselves and others when they do not recognize more effective strategies for meeting needs.

Reflections

“with humbleness, kindness, and self-sacrifice, you will take the weapon from any enemy. Any fire dies if there is insufficient wood.” ~ Buddist Wisdom, @A Calendar of Wisdom (pg 341)
