Default Chap 2 - a wakeup call?

I thought one of the most important things in Chapter 2 was at the very end when Wink says, "I suspect that creative nonviolence can never be a genuinely moral response unless we are capable of first entertaining the possibility of violence and consciously saying, 'No.' Otherwise our nonviolence may actually be a mask for cowardice, as it most certainly was for me."

I suspect that's a question we always must ask ourselves. But I have to admit that after 40 years of nonviolent activism, it caught me by surprise.
