Define Peace

[Gonz]

.

 

[Ms Ann Thrope]

Peace is an unattainable goal.

 

[Gonz]

I'm not asking what it isn't, I'm asking what it is

 

[freako104]

lack of hostility and lack of hatred of any kind. no enemies no fear of violence of any kind

 

[Ms Ann Thrope]

I'm not asking what it isn't, I'm asking what it is

That is what it is in my opinion: something that can never be achieved, an impossibility.

Doesn't mean one can't find it within, but it will never exist as a worldwide condition.

 

[Gonz]

that's it?

 

[freako104]

you wanted more than that explanation? or just upset at how few have responded to your question?

 

[chcr]

She's right Gonz. As long as there are humans involved there will never be peace. Too much aggression in our firmware. As for a definition, freako's works okay.

 

[AlphaTroll]

Gonz, do you mean peace as a global phenomenon or as a personal achievement?

 

[freako104]

She's right Gonz. As long as there are humans involved there will never be peace. Too much aggression in our firmware. As for a definition, freako's works okay.

correction. I wish it would work. but Natalie has it right

 

[ralphie]

Peace, to me, is the extreme sacrifice [sp?] on two or more parties so that neither/none may be in additional danger because of the other.

meh...

I'm a walking, talking dictionary...

 

[Gonz]

global phenomenon

 

[AlphaTroll]

Well then peace is wherever I'm not at this present moment in time.

 

[paul_valaru]

peace is that imaginary brass ring that is ALWAYS out of reach

 

[PT]

Peace, the absense of killing in the name of a cause.
