Perhaps your kindness would have won the day anyway, but now you no longer have to worry and can enjoy your neighbours! Fantastic.

Your non-violent non-cooperation (as gandhi taught) allowed you to win, with integrity. And your neighbors came out ahead, too. Win/win - no losers. Thank you so much for the inspiring story.

It explains quite well how among other things true power, which is what you used, always wins out over force, which is what your neighbour tried to use. This technique was successfully used throughout history by people like ghandi, dr. Martin luther king, nelson mandela, and countless other less famous people. If used correctly between nations it can absolutely bring about peace. And what works between two nations can also work throughout the rest of the world as well. It is the ever flourishing growth of attitudes like yours that help change the collective consciousness of the planet. As these attitudes continue to be transmittted to your daughter, and your neighbours, and everyone who reads this story, the collective consciousness continues to shift in this new direction as well. Eventually these type of behaviours will bring about world peace. This is not just a dream, but an inevitable reality that we are actively creating ourselves, right here, right now! Keep up the great work. May all the love and peace of the universe flow your way.
