Abstract
A solution of the Abraham-Lorentz equation of motion for a radiating particle is found to have nonrunaway form if its mass components are subject to nonuniform acceleration. By supposing that the energy radiated is absorbed by the particle's own field, inertia is found as a resulting property and the relationE=Mc 2 follows as a consequence.
