Re: Practical Peace

Onegaishimasu. In my early studies of the way of the Samurai and particularly zen buddhism, I read that sometimes the most compassionate act can be to cut your opponent's head off without a single word. It is the way many of us act today with insects; not cutting off their heads, but annihilating them altogether. So is peace not practical? Tough subject.
