Violence will not win over violence. Violence is won over by peace!
Uhm, sorry Mr. Pope but, peace is always maintained under the threat of violence with terms and conditions dictating how we will act toward each other and what activities are prohibited, least hostilities require enforcement of the “T’s & C’s”.
“Violence will not win over violence. Violence is won over by peace!
Over the long haul (many generations, well beyond our lifetimes) this is true (IMHO), but it doesn’t stop the immediate pain of genocide and religious persecution etc. The reality is humanity is sometimes anything but humane.
