  seeks to liquidate antagonisms but not the
  antagonists." Gandhi
• The aim of non-violent conflict is to convert
  your opponent to win over their mind and heart
  and persuade them that your point of view is
  right.

  want to make their opponent suffer instead they
  show that they are willing to suffer themselves
  in order to bring about change.
