Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.
Interpretation
True peace is achieved through mutual understanding rather than coercion.
This quote by Albert Einstein emphasizes the idea that genuine peace cannot be sustained through power or violence, but rather through efforts to understand one another. It suggests that a deeper comprehension between individuals or groups can lead to lasting tranquility, as opposed to temporary solutions enforced by force.
In practice
In a discussion about conflict resolution, this quote serves as a reminder to prioritize dialogue over aggression.
I cannot then believe in this concept of an anthropomorphic God who has the powers of interfering with these natural laws.

Whatever he owned, either he could hoist it on his back and lug it along or he could walk away from it. Anonymity was the thing he loved most about the city, being a part of it and apart from it at the same time.
A religion is a source of happiness and I would not deprive anyone of happiness. But it is a comfort appropriate for the weak, not for the strong--and you are strong. The great trouble with religion--any religion--is that the religionist, having accepted certain propositions by faith, cannot thereafter judge these propositions by evidence. One may bask at the warm fire of faith or choose to live in the bleak uncertainty of reason--but one cannot have both.
There is no enlightenment outside of daily life.
I don't write about good and evil with this enormous dichotomy. I write about people. I write about people doing the kinds of things that people do.
