I’m a pacifist and understand the power of prayer and God’s plan for us.
Proper organization can stop violence and work toward a peaceful loving solution.
Jesus taught us to Love our enemies. There is good reason for that as the Loving energy is feared by them more than death itself. A prayerful blessing for an evil person is like placing hot coals upon their head.
If we get angry, we lower ourselves and become like them. We lose.
I too, love peace and am a peace maker, if at all possible. However, I sold my cloak and bought a sword long ago.
It is easier to persuade for peace from a position of power then to beg for it from evil men.
Innocents rely on powerful men to keep them safe and free.
