Peace
To me it’s the feeling of calm, the feeling of not having any troubles. Why should there be wars, why should there be such things as harm, pain, misery and suffering? Without all this it would be peace.
Another thing connected to peace is friendship, not having to be friends with everybody in the whole world but to feel friends rather than enemies with others. In a way it is to NOT be angry, hostile, having a “dislike” with people, our differences is not the thing, it’s about not feeling that another person is someone not like, to hate. About friendship, it is also the positive feeling towards life itself, a kind of optimism towards not only humans. To feel friendly towards the world, to everything outside of you, and even yourself. It’s when you are happy inside, you enjoy the existence of yourself and of life. Something like the idea that everybody should enjoy what we have together, to share the joy of what we are given. Peace could also be more spiritual to me; it can be about the emotions and the peace of mind, that you aren’t a pessimist, not mad at the world, not disliking your life and so on.
Peace is more of an absence of bad things than that something necessarily need to be added, at least how I see the definition of the word. There are of course people who would say that you have to include “good things” to have peace, but the good things could be the absence of the bad stuff.
In a way, peace is the state of the perfect world, kind of the better endpoint at the ultimate scale of good versus bad.
Richard, I agree with you. Why should they be wars? If they wouldn't exist the world would have peace. Also I agree of having friends, people that have friends usually are more peaceful because they know the meaning of friendship and being a friend. Loving someone helps to have peace also, but I think that you should have inner peace first to be able to achieve world peace, because we cannot control world peace.
ReplyDeleteYea, the "start with yourself" is needed.. but still that should lead to "fix" world peace, at least if everybody did so.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog, it helped by partner have a good day. I can tell you put some heart into it.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see really link peace with emotions but it makes sense. No matter what you face in life if your negative all the time and hatting life I believe reaching inner peace is impossible. Everything starts with the way you see life, this can effect people around you in good of bad ways.
