Hind Swaraj: Passive Resistance

What i liked most about reading Gandhi's Hind Swaraj, was probably the idea about "passive resistance" in which he focused on a lot. The idea itself means to me as a good way to combat extremely aggressive people because it forces those people to look inwards and find out the monster within them. Once they see this, hypothetically speaking, they will be able to realize the error of their ways, as cliche as that sounds. It is definitely one of the best ways to fight battles in the world today. To actively go and attack someone with pistols and bazookas is madness because of the mere weaponry advantage they have over you. The truth then is to actively go and recruit people to support your ideals regarding passive resistance itself. If you look at it in a different perspective, you can see that passive resistance is an idea which a person is willing to use if they feel like their life is worth it. If you look back at Antigone and Kolhauss and concentrate on the idea whether passive resistance would have been a better option, it would require them to abandon their ideals. So then we come at a standstill in which we can see that both active and passive resistance are based off of the same ideas. One cannot say that a person who chooses to actively resist is more willing to fight for their cause then a person who passively resists the situation in which they put themselves in. I, as a person, somewhat believe in passive resistance. I say somewhat because it can only get you so far. It is definitely a great way to avoid conflicts and not have to deal with the situation at hand. When it comes down to it, if you do not address the problem at hand it can grow and soon become uncontrollable. If you revert back to purest form of resistance, i believe that active resistance developed before passive resistance.
