Responding to Violence as a Spiritist

Here's an interesting video example of people being more concerned with something material (in this case, a burger) than in the bullying happening right next to them:

It's interesting to note the behavior of those who did decide to intervene.  There wasn't any shouting or violence directed towards the bullies themselves.  Instead, we saw a rational male adult calmly explain that their bullying behavior was unacceptable, and we saw a female adult join the victim, to console him and possibly prevent another attack.  Both examples were a spiritist method to diffuse the situation and avoid an escalation of violence.

From: Allan Kardec's THE MEDIUMS’ BOOK > PART SECOND - SPIRIT-MANIFESTATIONS > CHAPTER XXXI - DISSERTATIONS BY SPIRITS > On Spiritism

"Have confidence in the goodness of God, and endeavor to open your eyes to the comprehension of the influences that are ushering in a new life for the inhabitants of your globe. You will not enjoy this new life in your present incarnation; but will you not rejoice, even though you should not have to live again upon the earth, to contemplate, from some higher sphere, the development of the work begun by you in your present existence? Let a firm and unwavering faith nerve your arms against the obstacles which threaten to impede the building of the edifice of which you are laying the foundations. That edifice will be indestructible ; for Christ has laid its cornerstone. Courage, builders who are working out the plan of the Divine Architect! Work on; God will crown your labor. But remember, that Christ denies the pretended disciples whose charity is only of the lips. It is not enough to believe; you must set an example of kindness, helpfulness, disinterestedness, or your faith will prove sterile, and you, yourselves, will reap no advantage from it." 

"Communications are being opened, by land and sea, between all countries and peoples; and, when the physical barriers between them shall have been overthrown, the moral barriers of political and religious prejudices which kept them apart will also disappear, and the reign of fraternity will be firmly and durably established. Work for your own future, and for that of those you love; work, above all, for your own personal improvement, and you will enjoy, in your next existence, a happiness which it would be as difficult for me to describe as for you to understand."
