Forgiveness is such a GOOD thing and it takes SO much courage to achieve - to let the thing that torments you GO.
You husband has my utmost respect for that Kim!

My husband's brother was shot by a "nut."
20 years later my husband, Mark, sat next to him in a
restaurant and told him he forgave him.
The "nut" broke down sobbing. His life is a hell, and he
relives it every day, same as my husband did, until he forgave.
I was priveliged to witness.

Well, Karen is all out of posts, so her alter-ego, Boo is here! :o)
I actually agree that you can't have peace if your neighbour doesn't want it, but you can use your intelligence to avoid outright conflict and to achieve a change in your neighbours perspective.... at least, that's the goal. You can also achieve your own inner peace along the way. ;o)

2 girls dead...many others before the man was caught.

I disagree. I would say you can't have fighting unless there are 2 sides
willing to.

Because you can't have peace UNLESS your neighbor wants peace.
I'm out. Have a good one.

Zar, why let it get to blows in the first place?

I question not your honesty. I will take you at your word until proved otherwise. It is your understanding of politics that I question. :P
Yeah, right kim. I'm going to let my enemy punch my face while I communicate saying......STOP IT! STOP IT!

Standing up against a violent and oppressive system designed to generate wealth and power for an elite few is honest enough for me. And to stand up against violence one cannot use violence, otherwise one finds oneself in a paradox.
And to actively seek to bring about changes in the structure of our economy by growing food locally, for local consumption is also honest enough for me. ;o)

snow is coming down in a fury upon us here, looks like someone's shaking up a snow globe.
-kimberly
We don't get nearly enough snow over here! - Now more snow would be worth demanding - 'cept it'd be a total waist of energy!
You think what I do isn't honest Zar? *v*
