If the goal is to disarm and pacify, never to injure or kill?

The line:
"I will not cease from [i]mental[/i] fight"
in Mr. Blakes poem may well describe the point of view of a pacifist.

@helenS it is all in the strength of mind and spirit

@Peacefulsword Fighting for peace has always been, and will always be, a [i]spiritual[/i] fight. This is how we build Jerusalem.

@helenS it's how we should be but greed, hatred and selfishness prevents true peace until we understand we all from the earth and we all return to it we will always fight

I believe in peace too much to ever be a pacifist.

@hippyjoe1955 indeed we all return to the earth like we came from it

@Peacefulsword Exactly. Ecclesiastes was written by a very wise man.
