Peace Out

"Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice." Baruch Spinoza

Peace is always the goal, and it seems everybody is either talking about making war or making peace -

In 140 chits, describe your version of peace.

Something like a little more close to peace could happen for the citizens of America if politicians stopped taking a personal interpretation of the constitution and start using it to help protect each citizen's individual rights and their freedoms.

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Peace is feeling comfortable in my own skin and mind.

Peace is the paradoxical experience of communing with truth through a humble awareness of selfishness and hoping in an external pure object.

Peace results when we give up our feeling of superiority and realize that we don't have to try to force others to believe or do as we do.

Everybody chill out and mind your own damn business and treat people like human beings, not toilet paper.

Acceptance.Unconditional love. I feel that when we find this peace within ourselves, we can better project it in the world towards others.

Peace is resting in God...letting go and letting God. It works for me anyway but it is a conscious thing I do...I wish it was automatic.

Stasis.

You can do what you want with the characters I didnt need.

Secure in the knowledge that nothing bad will happen to me unless I do it myself.

when we no longer feel the need to control others

At its core peace has little to do with other beings, it is about the promise and commitment you make yourself, moment by moment.

Peace is a place where people respect the beliefs and traditions of others without judgement..

Freedom

Love and tolerance.

Since the venerable Baruch Spinoza is a famous member of my tribe - the Sephardim (Spanish Jews) I will answer in both Hebrew and English:
Shalom, chaverim, Peace, oh my friends,
Shalom, chaverim, Peace, oh my friends
Shalom, shalom; Peace, Peace!
L'hitra'ot, ("l'hitra'ot" is literally "until seeing each other [again]")
L'hitra'ot, Til' we meet again,
Shalom, shalom. Peace. Peace.

The spirit and lyrics of the new version are truly profound and delightful, but I've already gone over 140 chits. Check them out for yourself!

Peace is when there is room in the atmosphere that allows people to love, rejoice and feel compassion for each other.

being in communion with the trees, rocks, grass, sky, air and everything in your immediate environment.

if you ever find yourself complaining about the weather, then you're not a friend of peace.........but actually at war with yourself.

Peace is when their is no need to write "PEACE" across foreheads to prove a point.

Peace is a united effort to act as the noble people we were created to be. It starts with one, and ends with oneness.

Peace is our true nature free from all illusions.

Peace is the absence of conflict and the complete sense of harmony.
