He observes many different kinds of peace prevailing in the world he inhabits. Not all of them are good. For example, there is the peace that death brings, the peace of the tomb. Today it could be called the peace of Auschwitz. Hitler tried to "make peace" with the Jews by seeking their "final solution"; but the evangelical would fight rather than submit to such a peace. There is also the peace of slavery and subjection, the Pax Romana. Dictators are very fond of the Roman peace. Today it could be called the peace of Tibet. The nation of Tibet has been completely stripped of its personality in our generation by Communist China without a single protest being made in front of a single embassy. Again, there is peace that is artificially induced in men. Among individuals it is the peace of the tranquilizer, the peace of withdrawal and schizophrenia, the peace of the brain-washed prisoner. Should large-scale chemical warfare break our, we are told, whole cities could be sprayed and pacified by such drugs. The evangelical is not interested in paying such high prices for the sake of peace. He would rather stay free, and alive, and in his right mind, prepared to fight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you laugh, be sure to laugh at what people do and not at what people are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24196]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you laugh, be sure to laugh at what people do and not at what people are.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Meek Walton's heavenly memory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16088]]></link><description><![CDATA[Meek Walton's heavenly memory.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16088</guid></item></channel></rss>
