As I was reading this, I kept thinking about the comparison between the concept that peace has to be forced through strength and the concept that a woman needs a man to lead her or the concept that the "man of the house" should rule with an iron fist so that others respect him and that fear that gets mislabeled as peace and order can be maintained. The wounds of the world so often connect to the wounds in our homes. Thank you for writing this. I share your hopes for peace.
