We must have the courage... to take their anger.

Non-violence, non-resistance.

How many of you would truly give your life, if only to set a small example.

How much is your life worth?

Would you look forward to standing in front of a tank? In front of one of its tracks? What would you do, if it kept moving towards you?

How brave are you?

1. I am not brave in that way.
I would not die to provide an example. My life is worth way more than that. Besides, once you're dead, you cannot act.

There are different sorts of bravery.

2. I'm pretty brave, but I don't know about that tank thing.
I'm with you on the Gandhi, non-violence thing.

3. I'd do it, but more for suicide than for the cause.
