Peace

Peace is the way people act when they want to have harmony. Harmony is what makes people feel good and allow greater bonds with each other. The irony in the way people go about this is that it's usually through war. Peace shouldn't be about fighting, but rather about loving, which brings to mind that famous motto that most hippies from the 60s and 70s have used: "I'm a lover, not a fighter." These hippies also have the peace sign worn around their necks often, or seen on their clothing. ☮ Another famous sign of peace takes its background from Biblical teachings: the dove with the olive branch in its mouth. What comes to mind is when the Great Flood had finally stopped wreaking havoc and Noah had finally landed his ark, where a dove came in through the window, symbolizing that the chaos was over and peace had begun again. Peace also has to do with helping anyone you can, even through little tasks, such as helping your mom with the cooking, or helping a friend get over their relationship, or even giving a stranger directions. It all leads to the same thing: satisfaction of others and yourself. There is also such a thing as "peace of mind." This has to do with someone's own inner peace, which they can acquire by just being a better person, as stated above, or even helping yourself out once in a while. A good way to put it is that this person can be stress-free with no cares in the world, making their own peace. Finally, if someone dies, they are said to be "at peace." These people who have passed on are resting eternally with no cares and no worries, just a very serene afterlife (depending on what you believe in). The human population should take into consideration of helping each other out once in a while and become more peaceful, so the world can be a better place to live in.
