Peace is a term that most commonly refers to an absence of aggression, violence or hostility, but which also represents a larger concept wherein there are healthy or newly-healed interpersonal or international relationships, safety in matters of social or economic welfare, the acknowledgment of equality and fairness in political relationships and, in world matters, peacetime; a state of being absent any war or conflict.According to Wikipedia.
And all the ten commandments of the Bible, reinforced by Jesus lead to peace.
We may justify the breaking of each one of them and silence the people opposed, our conscience. But our peace is eroded just for the sake of attaining momentary and transient joy.
Greed, jealousy, possessiveness, lust, gluttony, fame all look tempting and we go to lengths to achieve them. But whenever we cross the line and do so unfairly, we lose peace, altogether.
So what does one person need anyway?
Moderation. And walking the peaceful path without trampling on any sentiments, rights or emotions.
