I think there is a misunderstanding about peaceful people.
The person who is choosong to solve their conflict with negotiations, discussions and reasoning is not lack of anger, temper and aggressive instinct.
No.
But the peaceful person is CHOOSING to not let those emotions and instincts lead.

“Just a master. Like the van Gogh of painting. Just in control from the first stroke to the last.” Summer McIntosh tried to conquer the greatest female swimmer ever, and the result was the best distance race ever swam, a Katie Ledecky gold, and a hard, hard lesson. www.thestar.com/sports/amate...
Bruce Arthur: Inside the race of the century, where Summer McIntosh tried to conquer 800 ‘master’ Katie Ledecky, but fell just short
The 800-metre freestyle was an all-time race, but McIntosh faded at the end to take bronze. Five world swimming championship golds will have to wait.

VARNEY: I thought we needed all forms of energy, including wind, to power AI. But it looks like the administration is killing the entire wind industry. Is it?
