What is Peace

Is it the calmness in the face of a sleeping baby that does not have a single worry in the world?

Is it the beauty of the nature itself captured by the lush green mountains, the gentle streams, the quietly falling snow flakes or the rythmic waves of the ocean?

Is i the quiteness of the night, when the silence takes everything over?

Peace is all around us and inside of us.

The love by the parents, the trust of a friend, the guiding hands of a teacher.

The very act of being happy and content with one self fills our mind with peace.

If we all love and seek peace, why is there so much war? The revolutionary war, the civil war, the world war and now the war inflicted by the terrorists fills my heart with sadness. I wish we could all make peace, and not war.
