I just read something that I had heard before, but, have a great appreciation when I read or hear it:

"Be peaceful, not harmless."

Thank you for the reminder, nostr:npub160t5zfxalddaccdc7xx30sentwa5lrr3rq4rtm38x99ynf8t0vwsvzyjc9

If you're harmless, you can't choose peace.

That's one of the biggest takeaways, yes!

I'm so harmless

Fix that.

I'm being sarcastic. I'm usually sedated or training so I don't end up killing someone.

Oooooh hwelp me.

I like the sentiment but having been a Forward observer, 13F I can assure you that if you are being observed you can be removed from the game. Sometimes being perceived as harmless is better.

Murphy's Law of combat: To stand out is a great way to get shot.

Also: If you live in fear all the time you've already lost.

Finally: No one has killed more people on this planet than those who work for the government. And the number one employer is the United States Government who use Fiat currency so it's only a matter of time before they will eat their own tail.

Exception to above: You are already here, that makes you the progeny of dangerous people.

Thank you for your courage #TYFYC #ITM

Being Harmless is a testament to ones incapability of being violent or harmful to others.

Being Peaceful is a testament to your demeanor and conscious choices in life, ie. choosing to be a peaceful person over being unruly, violent and destructive.

The two are not the same.

So so so true.

It’s why boxers & wrestlers never fight. Almost never.

Just knowing that someone knows how to fight gives them great peace in their lives.

The word meek is to be strong with restraint. It’s to carry a big stick and not use it, not to be helpless.

πŸ‘†πŸ‘†πŸ‘†This is exactly it. Many misunderstand that word from the Bible.

Meek originally translated as, he who keeps his sword in his sheath.

Very good.
