Force
Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding. (Albert Einstein, noted scientist)
Einstein recognized that not much of value is accomplished by force alone. Late columnist Charles Lauer put it this way: “Leaders don’t force people to follow, they invite them on a journey.” And Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote: “Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.” Thinking of force in those ways would make 21st century life much better.
When people’s lives please the Lord, even their enemies are at peace with them. (Proverbs 16:7)
