- Description:
-
Peace is a state of harmony, the absence of hostility. This term is applied to describe a cessation of or lapse in violent international conflict; in this international context, peace is the opposite of war. Peace can also describe a relationship between any parties characterized by respect, justice, and goodwill.
More generally, peace can pertain to an individual relative to her or his environment, as peaceful can describe calm, serenity, and silence. This latter understanding of peace can also pertain to an individual's sense of himself or herself, as to be "at peace" with one's self would indicate the same serenity, calm, and equilibrium within oneself. - Impact:

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said "hatred breeds hatred breeds hatred..."
Everytime I get upset and want to lash out with "revenge" I try to remember that and always work things out rationally and peacefully. Unfortunately that is not how others are, but I truly believe humans can be taught to change certain personality flaws, this being one of them. If everyone revolved his/her life around this and this alone, he/she would live peacefully without hatred in his/her heart.
I support this change because I still have hope that the world can change and become a happier place to live in.

Can't we all just get along? Why is there this stuggle for power? In the end are all the lives and deaths necessary, wars almost never make any progress for what they want except for certain peoples' selfish goals. Excuse me while I go sing Beatles songs and be all "flower child" like as Sof says.

there is nothing but peace: it is the most basic feature of reality itself and without peace life cannot survive.
