The Japanese kanji for "quiet" -- shizuka -- is thought to come from the abstraction of calm coming from "beautiful green color," "clear of conflict," "staying pure," or "desirable lack of movement."
If something is wrong and you want to make it right, doesn't it seem like God would allow you to do that? Why would God make getting out of a wrong situation or changing course from an errant one near impossible?
