Be helpful and be useful

ANIMALS DO ATTACK
Trees can not complain about violence
Animals can not complain too
Basically they are non – violent
Sometimes, animals do attack man and show their protest
But, this can not be called as violence.
Alas! Man has forced them to be violent
Man has taken away their every thing
They live in jungle
But they don’t have a home of their own.
( 4 )
SOCIAL ANIMAL
We know….
Man is a social animal
How can he go against society and animal?
But what is the real situation?
Alas! See the cutting of trees
Witness the blasting of rocks and stones
See the attack on natural resources
Just to build big buildings and roads
And many things for his own comfort.
Man wants to prove and say….
“ I am an advanced social animal.”
But never understands that …
He is proving to be …..
“A cruel social animal
A self-destructing social animal’’.
Hey man!
You should leave violence and destruction in all form
Be polite and be useful
Try to embrace non – violence from the core of your heart
And prove that you are really a social animal.
( 5 )
CHECK AND CONTROL
Many man many thinking
No one can do anything
Please bear in mind…
All man cannot be strong enough
To follow non – violence
In the right spirit.
But, yes- all man can take a goal
To understand non – violence
To appreciate the benefits of non – violence
Everybody can try to check and control
Their violent mentality
And can practice some spirituality.

Mahatma Gandhi played a vital role to make people understand the strength and power of non – violence. Through civil rights movements or social reforms, Gandhi has been an inspiration for non – violent movement across the world.

Mahatma Gandhi dreamed of a peaceful world without any wars. He also dreamed of a society without caste or class, without forced child labour. He wanted a non – violent, non – exploiting society or social order. He showed the path of non – violence, still a lot has to be done in this respect.
