Well said. We don't have control over a lot of things but we do have some control over how we respond to our emotions. Finding peace amidst the chaos is not easy. Creating peace from chaos is even harder.

Helping others find peace might not be pacifism. I don't know what you'd call it. I dont really care what you call it. But I do know that often the catalysts of change are not the most downtrodden, but rather those who have been empowered to effect change. Thus, change begins by overcoming yourself.

Anger is a poor long-term motivator. What we are looking for is, indeed, resolve.
