Achieving peace

[Crabtownboy]

Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

True, but sometimes you have to first get the attention of those you wish peace with; as in taking that proverbial 2x4 upside the head of that proverbial mule!!:thumbs::thumbs:

Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

If we had not dropped the A-Bombs in'45, how much longer would it have been before we had peace?
and if Japan did win, what kind of "peace" would we have had? チャンスは、私たちは日本語を話すされていたされている

 

[abcgrad94]

Sometimes violence is the only way to achieve peace. This quote by Emerson sounds like something our president would believe--if there's a bully, just talk 'em to death and they'll come around. Nope, that's not the way it works.

 

[Tom Bryant]

True peace will come only when the Prince of Peace rules, not through understanding.

Violence can purchase freedom. You work in a country whose freedom was purchased through the violence of soldiers in WW 2.
