Thought for today:
"Peace can be neither bought nor won. It cannot be found or enjoyed without reciprocal expectation. You may win your peace by resisting evil or buy an uneasy peace by compromising with evil, but true peace cannot be imposed upon an unwilling other or be kept by force. It can only be achieved through understanding and mutual agreement between the parties. Similarly, peace within oneself requires congruence, balance, agreement and understanding between one's thoughts, feelings and actions before a harmonious mind and body truly exists. Obliging another to do and see things your way by using any manner of duress, mental, psychological, physical, political, cultural or religious will never represent lasting conversion or amount to anything more than mere coersion!"
