Seeking the Truth with impartiality, trying to live the Truth…and speaking the Truth without ego investment, hostility, or selfish involvement, is always a service. It means that we can collaborate…with people who do not understand fully what we know, and that we need not “preach” at people in the unhelpful way which is so justifiably and widely feared by nonviolent advocates.
Daniel A. Seeger, 1986
Out of the silence, the clerk read the above quotation.
