In the Note to the Reader of the new edition of Glenn Paige’s book the founder of the Nonkilling Balkans Forum, Canadian-Bosnian writer Rifet Bahtijaragić shares with the readers: “Nonkilling is a stretched out hand of cooperation and love among people, mutual respect, caring one for all, and vice versa, which resolves various interests and conflicts in the manner of nonkilling. Nonkilling unites people! A society guided by the principles of nonkilling breaks up the circle of Golgotha and leads individuals and human masses into a future of cooperation and mutual happiness, where principles based on mutual killing do not exist. Similar to Balkan “wheel dancing”, in which human hands and destinies are intertwined and supportive of each other in the eternal game of life.”
