 And you dont get peace by being defenseless against those with intent to harm. You get peace by being able to stop aggressors. 
 Call me a dreamer, then. 
We don't achieve change by conforming with what is, but by dreaming a new reality, and believing we can make a change. And if course, taking the due steps.

 Look, I really do get what you are saying. But the minds of millions, if not billions, need be changed first. But until that time, people need defense against predators, whether the two or four legged variety. And leaving people defenseless will not make the predators suddenly play nice. Yes, you can say its a vicious circle but unfortunately that's the world we inherited and the reason I fight is for future generations to live in the very world you are describing. 🙏
