That is true. We can never tell when they are required. And they are lethal. Nicely Bjorn!

Reminds me of a favorite quote: “A pacifist is not really a pacifist if he is unable to make a choice between violence and non-violence. A true pacifist is able to kill or maim in the blink of an eye, but at the moment of impending destruction of the enemy he chooses non-violence. He chooses peace. He must be able to make a choice. He must have the genuine ability to destroy his enemy and then choose not to.” ~ Yukiyoshi Takamura
Ah great, yeah if you don’t make a real choice… I wonder if you are a pacifist. Thank you for that comment.
nice…knowing how and choosing not…that is great strength….
Maybe we all need to take a lesson here?
Incredible
Ah, yes ~ lovely haiku and so true ~ Happy Weekend to you. ^_^
A lot in a small space – agreed that the greatest power is self-control. k.
This is incredible wisdom. Knowing our nature and choose not to use the bad bits.
A huge leap beyond incredible. Brilliant work.
