Peace
Peace is a state of mind. Peace is not the absence of war; war
cannot exist in a state of peace. War is not an option for
peaceful beings. Peace is a state of mind, an intention to live
peacefully with all beings.
Waging war will never bring peace, just a temporary cessation of
war. The last war fuels and justifies the next war. The last war
teaches hatred, domination, and power. The last war trains
leaders for the next war.
Peace is not without conflict. Conflict is an unavoidable result
of the diversity of human desires. In a state of peace, conflict
is resolved without harm to anyone. Violence does not resolve
conflict-it nourishes it.
Peace is possible when each person, community, state, and
country has access to life
