blessed are the peacemakers

Blessed are the peacemakers, so the saying goes. But the peacekeepers are left strangely absent, without reference in any of the holy books. 

Seems like the prizes only go to the people who bring resolution to discordant situations, not those who work to keep things the way they are.

Maybe there’s wisdom in saying: making peace is always a good idea, but keeping it is only sometimes a good idea.

Maybe there’s some peace that needs to be made? Maybe some that needs to be broken, first?

Thank you. Let’s have a great day.
