Résumé

Coffee Worth was an activist all her life. I had the joy of meeting her two years ago. She died in 2020 at the aged of 100. It's her testimony of what living a life of Nonviolence can do to someone.

1
00:00:00.197 --> 00:00:04.683
Oh, I've lived
the life of joy.

2
00:00:05.323 --> 00:00:10.518
I've been frustrated
from time to time.

3
00:00:10.709 --> 00:00:16.539
But the positive
approach of Nonviolence

4
00:00:16.564 --> 00:00:19.485
has been a big thing in my life.

5
00:00:19.882 --> 00:00:28.239
And the times when I was not
faithful to that vision

6
00:00:28.520 --> 00:00:31.132
I really felt bad about it.

7
00:00:32.007 --> 00:00:35.112
I don't like to remember those times.

8
00:00:35.738 --> 00:00:40.419
But we all make mistakes.
So I did too.

9
00:00:40.444 --> 00:00:48.766
My mother wasn't very fond of the
activities that I was involved in.

10
00:00:50.267 --> 00:00:53.720
She was used to the Southern way.

11
00:00:54.030 --> 00:00:57.109
I remember some of the things
she told me

12
00:00:57.730 --> 00:00:59.579
which were not true.

13
00:01:01.301 --> 00:01:07.729
I found that arguing with her
wasn't very convincing to her.

14
00:01:09.673 --> 00:01:11.489
That's one thing I learned.

15
00:01:12.246 --> 00:01:15.344
Don't waste your time
arguing with people

16
00:01:15.369 --> 00:01:18.242
who don't agree with you.

17
00:01:18.546 --> 00:01:22.405
Act. Arguing isn't the way.

18
00:01:22.694 --> 00:01:26.926
Nonviolence!
Arguing can be important,

19
00:01:28.227 --> 00:01:37.666
but the Nonviolence over the
argument approach is better I think.
