Peace is commonly understood to mean the absence of hostilities. Other definitions include freedom from disputes, harmonious relations and the absence of mental stress or anxiety, as the meaning of the word changes with context. However, there are others who would say that the absence of hostilities would refer to only those hostilities which are evident and that true peace only derives from the mind of each individual.
Peace may refer specifically to an agreement concluded to end a war, or to a lack of external warfare, or to a period when a country’s armies are not fighting enemies. It can also refer more generally to quietude, such as that common at night or in remote areas, allowing for sleep or meditation. Peace can be an emotion or internal state. And finally, peace can be any combination of these definitions. The symbol of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, which has grown to become a widely-recognized peace symbol.
A person’s conception of “peace” is often the product of culture and upbringing. People of different cultures sometimes disagree about the meaning of the word, and so do people within any given culture. (Wikipedia)
“There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.” Ghandi

Peace has now become an academic field of study. Johan Galtung, a big daddy in peace studies suggest that peace is more than just the absence of direct violence, you know punching someone in the head, blowing someone up…. He calls this negetive peace. Peace can be defined as the a person reaching their actual potential without interuption from other forms of violence also, such as indirect violence, structural violence, political violence, psychological violence, and cultural violence. He has mediated well over 140 (my last count) international and intranational conflicts. Check him out he has some really really amazingly amazing words of wisdom.
An excellent source for his and other academics writing go to www.tpu.org
Peace is something that can only be achieved through our own positive behavioural changes on the personal individual level. We must learn alternative means of conflict resolution which in turn must be inclusive and respectful of eachothers cultures. Only when people realise that conflict can be positive and used as constructive dialogue to improve all parties positions so they can achieve their actual potential, can humanity start seeing the back of stupid things happening because one group or individual get pissed off at another and get all hoity and fisty cuffs.
We need to teach our children empathy and respect of others. We also need to teach them how to deal with frustration and conflict that doesn’t involve smacking there friend over the head with a frying pan.
Oh dear I think i had a rant :P

Simply put, PEACEPLZ :D
ppl lik that dude who waz a terrorist whos gonna hang are the ones that i wish just had a life! no peace with them!
Peace is always the best strategy.
Peace: the best thing you always long for but can never really have
You can never have too much peace, in the world and in one’s mind o_O
this is one of the many keys to unlock a perfect world.
we should all try to be more peaceful!
There is no peace without justice! Therefore allways think at George Büchnes words: „Friede den Hütten! Krieg den Palästen!“
peace iz gud , but also war has qualiteis aswell, like quick advnces in medical knowledge, but the advantages of peace outweigh the advanages of war by 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999:0.000001
War is economic. Peace is humanistic.
totaly :]
Living on pennies, In green marmot-filled parks, And TB ridden, Underexaggerated, Stink houses, Before ever taking up arms, Against another. Against a brother. A sister. Somebody’s mother. Who lives under a father. For we are all connected.
Your war with it’s “qualities”, Isn’t worth but ballpark figures, And made of paper, Threads woven by man himself. Kill for the same? Please, just leave us to ourselves.
Like the flower children, We’ll put daisies in our own boomsticks. And march along side the wooden soldiers, Without intended violence, But with love and peace, Peace and love, In our hearts.
wat i was saying is that ,yes there are qualities in war but the qualites of peace vastly outweigh them therefore peace is better :]
without justice there will not be peace. without equal opportunities there will not be peace. without freedom there will not be peace. without the nutrition for all the people in this world there will not be peace.
PEACE AND LOVE TO ALL OF YOU
totaly
I like Peace of mind.
someone should add the symobols of doves, doves with an olive branch, some asian doing a peace sign… and so on :D
they’re actually lots of different symbols for peace.
give peace a chance.
PEACE PEACE AND PEACE !!!!
It’s all about the empathy. Don’t need religion, don’t need commandments or poems or anything but that.
Peeeeeeeeace!!!!!!!
Exactly. I think it’s funny all the people I talk to who say that they’re for peace, but seem to be really disrespectful, rude, or inconsiderate, as if peace doesn’t involve them in their world, but other people and war. Peace starts with ourselves. If we can’t respect and care for one another (or at least try) how can we critisize the rest of the world?
I agree with Craig – It’s all about empathy. Live and let live. The Golden Rule. (Which existed before Christianity)
I disagree with medievalvegan that peace is a strategy
I agree with Tijggie that peace is a good thing you long for but can never really have. Not in this world
That depends on if you’re willing to make the commitment.
While we still have war mongering US conservatives, the US and other first world military industrial complex and fundamentalist religion – war will stay.
Peace plan: Get rid of the above institutions. Give highest quality education for all. Work for a better standard of living for everyone (while preserving the environment).
How? Use the funds for war , for peace.
Who’s the cute red head in the above picture?
positive thinking brings peace
Not necessarily.
I really do love this redhead. She embodies peace. And she’s so cute!
We shall track her down!!!! And you may propose marriage to her while I get drunk at the tequila bar.
You like talking about alcohol. Do you have a love hate relationship, or a love love?
love love hate!!! Love love when I don’t get totally drummed out of my ever loving brain.
Maybe you should just be friends. You may have made too big of a commitment.
tears Its true…..but they were my first…
Everyone falls in love with their first. There’ll be others. Everything in moderation. It sure does take a shit load of will power though.
Maybe I should cut my heart out and parade around with it on a stake singing “we will, we will rock you”
I don’t think you’d make it to the stick part.
Me either but it’d look cool.
Except for that song is so overplayed.
“show must go on”?
How about “Beat Street”, by Grandmster Flash and the Furious Five?
Hmmmmmmmm what about HeartBeat Street and the Blood Vessel Five?
I don’t know what that is.
It is the future, dear Mr. Vano!!!
Great conept, BUT , we all have to want it. As long as it’s in your heart, there’s always hope!
peace is ideal, and can be achieved! :))))))
I love your John&Yoko avatar, Nicha! Nick
