People often mistake serenity for peace. But serenity is not peace: It is a state of peacefulness. Some say peace is quiet, or silence. But turmoil can and does exist in silence - so how can that be peace? Or that peace is freedom. But freedom has a price, called responsibility. Which, btw, many do not want, so peace goes out the window. Peace is not necessarily the cessation of war. War may end, but people may carry their hurts all their lives - that isn't peace at all. So what is peace? Peace is the flowering of who you truly are, within you. What is Peace?
