What is Peace?

Figure 1: Peace can be symbolized as the dove.
From the dictionary, the word "Peace" there are a lot of definitions, to name a few, are "A state of quiet or tranquillity; freedom from disturbance or agitation; calm; repose". Is there such a thing as "Peace" in this world, or it is just otherwise, where there is no such thing as a state of happiness and peace.

I never knew peace until I truly knew how to trust God, peace is never available anywhere in any parts of the world nor in a person. If I wanted peace in a relationship, I would find a God fearing-trusting person, so in times of trouble, she'll not panic but continue to strive on and. To be able to trust in a higher power, when a challenge which seems impossible for me arises, I can still face it with strong faith..

Yet worldly peace means that you have to close your eyes a bit, saying that I'm okay, fake that peace a little bit, it wouldn't happen in Malaysia, even though the neighbouring country next to ours has just been hit by tsunami or earthquake.
Figure 2: Peace is destroyed by man himself.
 So peace of mind in this world simply means you have the resources or enough security or you are satisfied with what you have.. Still what if your world turns upside down 180 degrees, will you still have that peace of mind? Peace in your heart?

This world, even Malaysia is messed up wrong definitions of peace, which creates and messed up minds of young ones, and causes the caring of others to cease and thus dissapear, when living in the city, life is cruel even, and everyone seems to live for themselves alone, but let peace prevail for those who fear God and only God.

These are a few quotes by the great Mother Theresa,

"Peace begins with a smile." 
"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other."

"The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between. "

"Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God - the rest will be given. "


Figure 3: This can't possible the symbol of peace.
