Peace grows on trees.

There is a very old...VERY OLD...belief from Scotland that is written in Latin, oddly, that reads "Aut Pax Aut Bellum." When translated into English it simply reads "Without Peace Without War." That statement is worn on the crest of the Gunn Clan, the clan in which my family originates. It means, without war, peace does not exist....I have long believed this...too me, anytime someone gets mad at what someone else says, does, has, or is, there will never be peace...it may sound very cruel, but total peace is a total dream, its never going too happen...two groups of people will always be in disagreement in someway somewhere...
