I read beginning from a book about Mahatma Gandhi's writings, in Finnish.
It has a quotation: "There is no road to peace. Oeace is the roiad." Upon the well functioning you can builkd future life. If something is not ok, you cannot build ok situation upon it. If you see in it parts that are ok, things well, then you can build upon such and achieve a much better situation.
I propably had heard but had not quite registered that Gandhi first influenced in South Africa. This far I have read only the first spoeach and it seemed to be from a situation where Asian culture had a rigid theory perspective that Asians found easy to follow, which is connected to them thinking not so well but anyway somewhat and having much more skilled Asian forefigures that can offer thoughts to follow, while the Africans and those Asians who had moved to live in Africa wanted to have more basic life with social considerations and freedom and common sense's view dominant, and so he talked about rigid rules causing åroblems in marriages and freedomoffering road to common sense and well working social life.So it was a South African view to life that he supported. I wonder if present day Indians have failed to notice that difference and just copied a peculiar maybe well working approach? But I guess that Asians would need more climate skills and skills in the art of living instead of African influence.
Can nonviolence be a question of larger areas of influence via international trade, media and larger nations with easy transport?You kind of mix with the daily life, with the well working society of far away places. So you get a mass of theory perspectives of how to run a society and how to arrange your way of life, and also the ways different professions live may vary much more. So there isn't a border and calshes there between different ways of living the daily life and different values, and good will inside the area with the same likings and values, with some getting killed on the border or upon not liking the local values.

My thinking course at http://quickerlearning.blogspot.com teaches good qualitu common sense like objective thinking that is good for just about all things that need thinking.
For learning climate skills moving in varied ways is good. It does not need to be much, already a few meters quickly like suits the sporty wishes of the moment and in a way that varies accoring to the situation: mood, ground, heat regulation, how near one is the beginning or end, what is a good way to run, etc, without social intentions but with good will like liking hobbies. That already teaches tuning to environmental conditions and to the state of one'sbody, the effect of one's mood, of different company, tiredness, future plans etc
Moving teaches also skills in the art of living but that almost demands a sports hobby in which one moves in varied ways, reactively, aiming for learning skills of moving and loving the practiucalö healthy life, since in moving there are mony things to take into account liuke in life, but in moving those are in a concretical form and without much social pressure.

21.10.2019 Did factory made products make markets much wider so that the size of societies grew a lot, and to that was needed a well running theory perspective that would leave room for the traditional local cultures, to which maybe European British perspective was good and an European was an outsider so they were automatically without much influence in local affairs and local culture, more like the person just carrying some theory perspective that was good for a wider market, maybe the task was somehow similar to meeting the demands of a climate of four seasons, in which you need a picture of the whole year and expectation for different types of predictable seasons. When the Indians had learned such thinking & perspective themselves, the British were no longer needed. Well, just a guess..
