Peace and War Peace cannot be created with violence. Some might look to World War II as an example which contradicts that statement. But in fact it does not. During World War II‚ America created war‚ not peace. It was after World War II that peace was created. War never creates peace‚ and peace never creates war.

The Nature of Peace Sarah Tennant Can humans ever be in total peace? If humans are constantly in conflict within themselves‚ each other and the environment‚ how then‚ can there ever be a peaceful civilization? To achieve peace‚ you’d have to eliminate all instincts‚ desires and passions.

Peace can be defined as the absence of
