What is your definition of peace?
I have no clue. Peace in my life? That sounds pretty boring. A life without conflict of some sort is a life without real challenges.
That and peace seems like a lofty ideal we strive to achieve yet remains mostly unattainable. Like religion. Or vehicle maintenance.
What is your favorite quote regarding peace?
Ultra Radical Gnarly Mondo Douchenozzle Cliche Quote:
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
Hardly a universal salve, but it proves a sound point about the necessity of order maintenance and the means by which it is achieved.
Using the vehicle maintenance thing, peace is what you get more of when you take care of your car and regain quickly when you've planned for problems. If you neglect the mechanisms of balance or aren't prepared for problems, you're only screwing yourself. Be Prepared and all that.
Two more quotes:
"Peace is not a natural state of being, it is an expensive commodity with a limited shelf life." - some dude
"Peace is looking through a turret at the flawless blue sky, bro. You've got reality up close and fantasy far away." - certain dude from last business trip during his "Hippies Don't Work Hard" tirade

Honestly, I'm perplexed by this thread. I've reread the OP a couple of times now and I still can't seem to wrap my two braincells around it.
