peace war makers
There are no makers of peace because the making of peace is at least as costly as the making of war - at least as exigent.

The God of life summons us to life; more, to be lifegivers, especially toward those who lie under the heel of the powers.

peace eye men
Sometime in your life, hope that you might see one starved man, the look on his face when the bread finally arrives. Hope that you might have baked it or bought or even kneaded it yourself. For that look on his face, for your meeting his eyes across a piece of bread, you might be willing to lose a lot, or suffer a lot, or die a little, even.

There is no peace because the making of peace is at least as costly as the making of war - at least as exigent, at least as disruptive, at least as liable to bring disgrace and prison and death in its wake.
