In the use of violence, man simply follows his basic instincts, while to promote peace; man has to give himself a complete moral overhaul. Only after such a conversion is the individual able to play the role of a peace-loving person.
If someone pelts you with stones, do not quarrel with him. Try rather to raise yourself to such a height that the stones cannot reach you.
For violence to erupt provocation is enough; while for peace to prevail man has to nullify provocation with moderation and restraint.
