"Are Pacifists Cowards?

Some speculate that pacifists' unwillingness to fight is indicative of cowardice. There are many types of cowardice, however -- some obvious and some deeply buried. I think most pacifists actually believe themselves to be very brave, in that they believe it is much more difficult to refuse to use violence than to hurt or kill another human being.

This is true, in a way. It is much harder to refuse to use force to protect yourself and your loved ones, to guard jealously the gift of your life. This is because it is hard to fight your nature as a human being, to actively resist the logical standard of value for rational human life.

Fundamentally, pacifism is a doctrine, a philosophy, of inaction. What is inaction, then, if not cowardice, however deeply rooted and obscured by the layers of our beings? A given pacifist might indeed be brave enough to speak out and to die, might indeed possess the "courage" of his or her convictions. This is the "courage" to throw one's life away for a given cause, however noble."

I call bullshit. First he claims that pacifism is action towards the innate instinct for survival and then he claims that pacifism is inaction and therefore cowardice.

I am in no way a pacifist. I think that idiots should be at least shot to death.
