Stay calm Fiji!

To all law-abiding citizens of Fiji!
I wrote in one of my earlier posting about the importance for Fiji to be driven by their principles rather than emotion.
As justified, one might feel in their emotions about the travesty unfolding in the island nation of Fiji, we cannot resort to an armed revolution.
Ro Teimumu has shown us how it is done. The battle lies in the spiritual.She has taken up fasting as she awaits in custody. She has a clear vision of what is to be achieved. Let us not be blinded by rage and calm our spirits.
Just simply stand up and follow her example. Do not resort to armed revolts, rather arm yourself with courage, faith, and love and you will cause bewilderment amongst the regime.
It would be like walking into the enemy’s camp without lifting a hand.
No armed revolution has benefited a nation. Even if one party thinks they have won at the expense of their fellow citizens, sadly, they are the real losers for they have to live with that guilt in their conscience.
Killing and suppressing others never creates a victor.
I have shared countless times of the importance of making our voices heard through acts of non-violence. History has proven that acts of non-violence against social injustice have always produced a more unifying spirit of love and forgiveness even in the face of violent suppression by regimes.
This is a revolution of love and faith..these are fruits of a prayerful individual.
If you consider yourself to be a man and woman of prayer…then you ought to be bearing these fruits.
The real battle lies in the spiritual; not in the physical.
