Passivity is a state of inactivity. Nonviolence is a state of action. Nonviolence is a way of life, and it means to avoid harming others. Gandhi practiced nonviolence because he believed that violence was the root of all evil. He wanted to end violence in the world. Gandhi's philosophy of nonviolence was a way to help people become peaceful.
