Reflections on Buddhist militarism https://politicallyincorrectdharma.blogspot.com/2019/02/reflections-on-buddhist-militarism.html From the comments:  This reminds me how the biblical definition of the word "meek" was explained to me. In English, the word meek means weak or submissive. However, this is a mistranslation. The original word in Greek that this word is derived from has no translation in English. It means, a swordsman who is well trained in swordplay, but who would rather keep his sword sheathed if he can settle the situation diplomatically. In that sense, perhaps it is true, that the meek will inherit the earth.
