“Have I lost this battle? Am I still a worthy warrior, even though it seems like a never-ending war? The war is between my mind and the truth of what I am. It’s a one-sided war that can not be won until I lay down my weapons and realise that we are on the same side. My war is in my head, and as long as the fighting is going on, there will be no peace. Truth is my ally. Truth is within me. Truth is me. I am truth, I’m silence, I’m the silent warrior for peace.”

“Violence is a self-perpetuating rabbit hole that exaggerates problems and rarely solves them. It is a reaction to a situation and not a thought process. You and your supposed enemy may wash in each other's blood, but once the bloodlust passes, all that remains is a determination to prevent the next generation from inheriting the sins of their fathers. Then the search for peace finally begins.”
