John Lennon’s voice cut through noise like light through smoke. “The system knows how to handle violence,” he said, “but it doesn’t know how to handle peace.” In a world addicted to outrage, that truth feels revolutionary. Anger plays their game; calm rewrites the rules.

Modern psychology backs him up, anger narrows attention, reduces reasoning, and feeds impulsive cycles. Calm, on the other hand, rewires neural pathways, enabling creativity, clarity, and courage. Nonviolence isn’t submission; it’s mastery over self.

Each time we choose humor over hate, empathy over retaliation, we step outside the loop of control. Peace isn’t passive, it’s powerful. So next time someone provokes you, pause before reacting. Maybe silence is the loudest statement you can make. #Quote #quotes

Love this. Even when it feels impossible, it’s critical to stay non-violent and keep your sense of humour.

I don’t think I could disagree with a philosophy more.

If only the founding fathers had been peaceful instead of violently revolting against their oppressive government.

Has there ever been a revolution that got anything meaningfully changed without violence? I don’t think so, or at least I am not aware of a single one.

this philosophy feels like a psyop

if only our founding fathers had used humor to overthrow the british🙏🏼🙏🏼 we’d be so much better off!

oh I have an idea, maybe I’ll try using some humor and that’ll liberate me from the communists. fucking delusional
