Peace

Peace is something people like to say they want, but in the end they really don't try to make it a reality. People always say "peace is the answer", but do they really try to get there? Most people think that peace is only something in fairy tales, only something that is a fantasy. I believe that peace is real. Peace really is the answer. Peace can become a reality if we all try to strive for it and not just talk about it. I think the word "peace" has become more meaningless through the years. People put up there hands in peace signs, but do they really think about peace when they do it? Most likely not. Peace seems like an impossibility but if we really work hard enough we could get to that reality, that fantasy, that fairytale. We could live in a state that is calm and relaxed and just plain peaceful. If we just try everyday to say something nice to our enemies, to console someone you don't know really well, and just be kind and caring, we might just find that peace we always talk about.

- Eileen Insight

"Peace has to be created, in order to be maintained. It is the product of Faith, Strength, Energy, Will, Sympathy, Justice, Imagination, and the triumph of principle. It will never be achieved by passivity and quietism." - Dorothy Thompson
