Dear Isaac,
Did you think you would ever get a question from your Mom?
Here it is…. Dad and I observe you and
watch you grow and change and we very much see you as a peacemaker in our family. Sometimes we even
notice that you lean toward pacifism. My question is two parts, one, please tell us what a
pacifist is and two, please tell us if you think you were born this way, or if
it is more who you became as you grew up in our house. You are the only person I
know that is like you. I am
fascinated by you and uber proud of you.

Dear Mom,
No, I did not think you would ask me a question. I am flattered you asked me a question.
A pacifist is someone who opposes war or any kind of violence, like shooting, stabbing, or boxing - those are some notorious examples of bad things. As a pacifist I also do not like hearing people be mean or cuss at each other, it is very excruciating for both me and the person who is fighting.
I think it was a combination of being born and growing up in this house that made me a pacifist. I want to keep my attitude as clean as can be. For example, violent games can change your attitude to violent, which is not what God wants. Since I have siblings, it is important that I have a good attitude to set an awesome example.
