What about Peace?

What about peace?
To me peace is an opinion to everyone. The definitions differ with each person. So if everyone has different opinions on what peace is then how can we ever agree and have peace in the world? Maybe if humans accept some decent humility and admit that they are wrong? Don’t get me wrong not all people are hard headed but we all do have different views on everything don’t we? We as Homo-Sapiens are made to be curious creatures, all with different perspectives of life and daily issues, we could never agree on something with one definite answer. Take the president for example. The one with the most votes wins, but what about the other people who voted for the other guy? They don’t agree with the other people even though the president is definite people just don’t agree. So is peace something we could possibly achieve? there are no guarantees. But there are no guarantees with anything you do... There are no guarantees that I could wake up tomorrow... It’s just a piece of hope that you hang on to. It sounds grim when you think about it... But some people believe we are already at peace, some people believe that we are not; some people even believe that we don’t need peace. If we take the risks we take every day to try to achieve this peace that we are seeking, then we could probably find the treasure that we seek and all the jewels that would follow, it may involve some sacrifice but are people selfless enough to do that? I don’t know.
The world is an immense place. Even if we all work together to help everyone. Peace seems unlikely and out of reach...but yet possible. Those five letter words P-E-A-C-E hold so much emotion in them. If you say the word peace out loud to people. You will probably get a different emotion or reaction out of everyone some people will feel remorse at the word. Some hopeful some will be angry some will not care, you’ll get different reactions out of everyone because no one in the world is exactly the same in their thinking.
But if we all agree as a whole in the earth that we NEED peace. There is one thing that if everyone gets it, then peace is possible and so is an infinite amount of things... Just one small little word, faith. If we all have the faith that peace will happen and we trust our souls in God. Then it can definitely happen. Nothing is impossible with faith and God. With everyone faithful peace is definitely possible, but like I said, some people are as unchanging as the evergreen trees. But maybe the amount of optimistic souls will prevail over the amount of pessimistic faithless souls. With faith and God on our side, we just can’t be stopped.
With peace the earth would change tremendously it is a necessity for living no bellowing, no hostility, no hurt, no pain, no destroying, no cruelty, just tranquility and serenity is Peace.
