Ready for Violence, Postured for Peace #067

When I travel, I prepare for violence. Not because I want it, but because I refuse to be caught unready.

Preparation brings peace. Paranoia comes from fear. But readiness breeds calm.

• Awareness is protection. Proverbs 27:12 says: “The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.”
• Training is insurance. A sharpened blade rarely needs to be drawn.
• Peace is posture. Jesus said: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God” (Matthew 5:9).

A Dangerous Gentleman doesn’t live in fear. He lives in readiness.

Warrior’s Reminder: A warrior’s calm comes from knowing he is ready for whatever comes.
