Gandhi's ten principles of nonviolence
- Humiliating or deliberately provoking your opponent invites violence;
- Knowing your facts and arguments well helps avoid violence;
- If you are open about your cause your opponent is less likely to be violent;
- Look for common ground between you and your opponents to promote trust and understanding;
- Do not judge others harder than yourself (alternatively do not judge others);
- Try to trust your opponent. They will sense this trust;
- Compromise on inessential items to promote resolution;
- Sincerity helps convert your opponent;
- By making personal sacrifice you show your sincerity;
- Avoid exploiting weakness in your opponent. Aim for integrity, not simply to win.
