Peace and Pacifism

These latest posts have been very confusing to me and to many other
mortals. I humbly ask from You, God of Peace what does your Peace mean?
Does Your Peace and Pacifism mean bleeding, pain and sorrow for those
who are weaker or different? It is said that You abhor violence and Your
followers must share same attitude against violence of any kind.
Is this true or do you allow or encourage violence for wealth, status or
any other reasons? I am shocked that I heard from Your followers that
they "had" to kill for their own wealth and survival.
To mortals blinded by violence and greed:
Peaceful, non-violent ways are much more profitable and powerful
to gain anything, even personal wealth so that is not even valid
excuse for killing, at least not to anyone enough intelligent to count
how much they need money for a piece of bread. Anyone who thinks that
killing is necessery for money or power is just outstandingly stupid and
blinded by his own violence. I can be an example for those who need
proofs that you can become strong and wealthy without violence. Much
more than 80% of my wealth and powers have came from non-violent jobs. I
have used violence sometimes, for my own benefits but I am not claiming
to be pacifist either. Fighting, killing and violence are just waste of
time for those who know more than average beggar who whines for free food
or cheap elixirs. When did you see wealthy nobles or merchants run around
cities chasing squeeking rats or murdering children? Only slaves and poor
beggars are doing filthy jobs like those, nobles and wise don't need to
waste time for getting coins with blood and violence.
Violence has nothing to do with wealth or survival, violence is just a way
to get something from others, taking advantage of others weakness. You can
become wealthy with or without violence, although combining both might be
the most profitable solution if you think that your own personal wealth
is what counts in your world. If anyone needs to kill for something, it is
just a sign of stupidity since you could get same results faster without
violence and killing.
