T(r)oy's Marbles
on peace
"Peace of heart that is won by refusing to bear the common yoke of human sympathy is a peace unworthy of a Christian. To seek tranquility by stopping our ears to the cries of human pain is to make ourselves not Christian but a kind of degenerate stoic having no relation either to stoicism or Christianity. … True peace comes not by a retreat from the world but by the overpowering presence of Christ in the heart. 'Christ in you' is the answer to our cry for peace."
