What is peace?

  1. I have a simple question to ask you. In this world of hate, war, corruption, violence etc... Where our environments are being used as the whipping paper for our giant toilet known as society. What really does peace mean?
     
  2. we need to send all the world leaders into space to look down at the moon to show them just how small our planet actually is.

    peace (state of tranquility) IMO does not exist with humans. this sounds nerdy but as the great n powerful Mr. Smith (from matrix lol) would say, "humans are the only beings to not get along and find peace, they are always looking for more" (not a direct quote - just what i remember off the top of my head :p)
     
  3. probably the absence of those things.
     
  4. Peace, in Chinese, is written with two words :

    PYUNG
    HWA

    (The prounounciation is rough... I'm not Chinese.)

    PYUNG means 'level', 'flat', or 'balanced'. Equilibrium.

    HWA means 'happiness'.

    In another words, PEACE is EQUILIBRIUM OF HAPPINESS.
     
  5. Would you rather have the world end or have peace?
     

  6. Good question. But if the world was at peace, love would follow, making our society bearable. I guess what I am trying to ask is in our society today how can we achieve peace?
     
  7. is society devoid of love?
     
  8. By spreading the love....
