Abstract
In today’s war torn hostile world, peace has become a sought after personal, social and universal need. Community and individual survival is largely dependent on peace. As a social construct and a building block of society, peace stems from love, compassion, tolerance, selflessness, and a lack of unrest due to desire, aversion and delusion. Peace is the result of end of suffering of all
kinds, an amity withheld by forbearance, and a sense of understanding of self and others on multiple societal levels.
The idea of peace is simple and yet is found less than practical to apply. War is the progeny of unrest, and unrest stems from very human traits of desire and yearnings. Uncontrolled and misdirected ambition often leaves an individual far from inner peace. An obstinate drive to obtain things that are often unnecessary often disturbs the very basis of world peace – individual peace.
This disturbance resonates between fellows going through common sufferings and having common mindsets, not to mention, we as humans are always impressionable, and hive mind psychology often denies us to think for ourselves. As a result an individual unrest aggravates and takes larger scales and levels, and ultimately disturbs world peace.
