The Russian army

[Magoo]

certainly we may try.
but the other side has to try too.
therein lies the rub.
can we trust them?
well if we were ukrainian the answer would be 'no, arm yourselves'

and once again the bedouins nailed it with an old proverb
'min fadlik abtaead ean aleushb'

Clearly this is something which we all need to put some effort into, regardless of differences & I'm sure that our species is intelligent (despite daftness) enough to manage to at least make that effort. Its something which in the long term would benefit all our descendants & the planet, too.



“No one saves us but ourselves. No one can & no one may. We ourselves must walk the path."


“Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over & over again.”
Buddha

Any chance of you translating your quote?

yes
'keep of the grass'

we can put the effort in, because we believe in the innate goodness of spirit of mankind.
this belief is misplaced peace can only occur at the end of a gun, and only temporarily at best.

'you can dye your hair but you cant change your roots'
