The winners of wars write the history books. There are so many peaceful small wins that we don’t share enough. Violence does not have to be the answer, but we lack the imagination to believe this because we are not being taught the peaceful ways. Not even in movies and games.

I disagree. I’ve done it multiple times. It just doesn’t work in the way it’s done today.
