The Meaning of Peace

Is peace a condition or a state of mind?  What is a peaceful demonstration?  How do we “demonstrate” peace?  Is it what they call “passive-aggressive”?  Is there aggression in peace then?  And how do we see ourselves as peaceful being?  What are some of the examples?  Nice to everyone?  No worries?  Always considerate and reaching out?  Never greedy, never betray anyone, never fight another, never do wrong?  (What is wrong?)  Is shouting slogans peace?  Is non-violence peace?  Why is peace linked with security?  What does peace have anything to do with security?  Can change be peaceful? (Change is never peaceful).  Can peace change the world?  Does the world want peace, and what does it mean by wanting peace?  I don’t know.  I don’t know the meaning of peace.

Perhaps peace is the breath between conflicts, the silence before change.     12/22/11.
