Peace is a state devoid of all unnecessary elements. It is stillness consistent with the natural forces of life. It is conformity with law and order.
Peace, however, is relative to war; to understand peace one must know its antonym - war. War is the clash between two opposing parties - the aggressor and the defender. Each considers himself to be in the right and both are claiming to be full with moral reasons to wage it in the pursuit of peace.
Humanity, at present, is at war with itself. It is fighting the wars against famine, disease, natural calamities, etc. The root cause of most of these, however, is man's discontentment. He is not in peace with the world he lives in. He constantly dreams to improve this"ugly" world; but in so doing and instead of lessening the problems, he later finds that he had only added another novel force to the other ancient problems of the world. He is then reverted to the old feeling of disillusionment . . . .
