Bart Simpson, from the beloved animated TV sitcom "The Simpsons".
The problem with peace is that you cannot just wish to have it.
How can you have peace, when your enemy wants a piece [of you]?
Many times, the only way to keep the peace is to ENFORCE it.
Or to seriously threaten to enforce it.
And when necessary, demonstrate that you were not joking.
"I told you so!"
Si vis pacem, para bellum...
If you want peace, prepare for war...- Latin proverb.

Bart Simpson has always had the ability to convey a lot of meaning with those four chubby fingers.
ReplyDeleteThe Latin proverb is very true.
Thanks for sharing :D Cute heart

I've never noticed that heart in his fingers, good catch!
ReplyDeleteYou're right ... his fingers are chubby enough that his peace sign is a heart!
ReplyDeleteDon't you wish the world could have peace through wishing? I sure do. Unfortunately you are right ... sometimes the only way to have peace is to be strong enough that just the threat of enforcement is enough to make it happen. Sigh.
