Undoubtely, we have to choose a subject and to study a context to think the idea of peace and war over. Thus, if we explore the field of the individualism, we will find many problems because it's difficult to find out, for example, what is good for you and what is good for another. From this point of view I don't think to achieve the state of war be easier to get on the state of peace.
Is peace calm and harmony? Does peace exist if there is no war, famine, social differences, poverty, disasters, pride, selfishness, crime, hostility, fightings, abuses, injustice, outrages, murders, jealously, unhappyness, etc.?
I am not sure about that. Peace is not an external circumstance, is not an environmental condition, neither a plenty of satisfied needings. The only possible peace is spiritual and unless that generalized void inside each human creature isn't filled with the touch of God, I believe nothing else in this earth can bring us peace. Peace starts in human heart, not outside.
