“there's a subtle difference between harmless and peaceful”

- Harmless means someone or something is incapable of causing harm. They don't pose a threat — often because they lack strength, intent, or power to do so. Harmless = no ability to harm.

- Peaceful means someone or something chooses not to cause harm, even if they could. Peacefulness is often a conscious choice or a way of being, not just a lack of danger. Peaceful = the ability to harm, but choosing not to.
