Peace cannot be achieved through violence

in #life6 years ago (edited)

Peace is an occurrence of harmony characterized by the lack of violence, conflict behaviors and the freedom from fear of violence. Commonly understood as the absence of hostility and retribution, peace also suggests sincere attempts at reconciliation, the existence of healthy or newly healed interpersonal or international relationships, prosperity in matters of social or economic welfare, the establishment of equality, and a working political order that serves the true interests of all.

Many holding hands represent people from different races, countries, and cultures bringing their love and care to each other. There is no boundary between them. They sing a song for peace and friendship as they share their knowledge and happiness. A world full of joy and harmony is our wish.

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.

What does that mean?

If two people (or two countries – this saying seems to scale fairly well) don’t understand one another, there cannot be a peace.  There will be misunderstandings leading to friction, which leads to heated arguments which will eventually lead to conflict.If they don’t understand each other’s values, motivations, likes and dislikes, there is little chance for effective communication.  With out effective communication, there is no way to de-escalate the eventual problems, and ineffective communication is likely to only exasperate the problems. 

Why is understanding important?

The trick with this quote is that the understanding must be bidirectional for there to be peace.  Hitler wasn’t interested in understanding other people, his interests appeared to be that he simply wanted to beating them, take their resources, and repeat the process with the next country. 

At the End

What I've learnt that "understanding" means quite different from person to person and i highly value the person who honestly attempts to understand it from your mind.
