Can't believe I missed this. This is perfection. Pithy, accurate and wise.

To address the bolding I added:

Forcing peace would be the very opposite of peaceful... forcing anything is peaceless... after all, you can never possibly successfully force peace you can only ever attempt and fail to force peace: you cannot actually succeed because peacefulness is antithetical to forcefulness.

Absolutely correct. Absolutely wise. Great post!

You may have noticed that I added to the front of my sig!
