What is Peace? Is that an ambitious enough question to begin an essay? I would argue that peace is not simply the absence of conflict, or war, but rather a positive state of being in which the troubles of this world do not penetrate your heart. Yet, that does seem unsatisfying to people in a world seemingly beset by war and violence on all sides. It is all well and good to keep a peaceful heart amidst troubles all around, but how do we go from there to a more peaceful world in general? Specifically, how do we build a world of peace that ends war?
