Lay Down Your Weapons
This design was created to encourage people to stop their use of weapons for fighting to resolve conflicts. We should abandon our use of guns for hurting others or taking lives. Instead, let us use our hearts to learn how to get along with our neighbors, rather than fighting to gain control of them and their thoughts.
We must put a stop to the way of thinking that it is so easy to pick up a gun to settle a dispute.
Healing from the wound is both physical and mental. I think it is important to be able to forgive (or at least release the grudge of) the person or people who have harmed us. That relieves our own stress. Those who have harmed others can benefit from this by being able to show genuine regret for, and to ask for forgiveness for their crimes and sins.
