is there PROGRESS in PEACE?

Question

i bet it's peaceful on the moon....
and i read it everywhere....in graveyards

Answer 1

If that type of 'peace' speaks to you soul of refreshment and rest....then there is progress there.

It's like a good sleep for our bodies.

We can take bigger leaps forward in growth if we take times to really rest. To assimilate the lessons....to be thankful.

Answer 2

there is no peace without struggles and sometimes violent upheaval. It does not happen. The very moon you see is a pot hole of abuse by our solar system, everyday and for thousands of years. What you see is a just a minute moment in between the violent upheaval, as for graveyards, the only peace that exist there is that which is buried, every life, that lies beneath the soil had a life full of some struggle, and even the very act of putting those bodies in the graves, the grave stones on the graves was a struggle.

So is there progress in peace. I wouldn't call it progress as in your own examples it can be regression or extinction, end of the line. However, to beg the difference....there is NO PEACE without turmoil, or progress or etc etc etc.

Peace

Answer 3

There is no progress without peace, sadly the world does not seem to be moving in that direction so we may not see much progress. We can't live in graveyards, besides some are getting crowded. I pray that each of us may make an area of peace in our own lives and keep expanding it until it joins with others and progress becomes inevitable and pervasive. I am for radical peace. I think those who live and love peace are the real silent majority. We should be silent no longer but claim the world we wish to live in.

Answer 4

Peace, like everything else in this world, is a state of mind. I can only create the peace in my life because I know what peace is to me. Some people think of peace as no wars in the world or living on a utopia but there is no such thing. There is no such thing because the cause of peace is the effect of war or the cause of good is the effect of evil; there is always pros and cons to everything. I say peace is a state of mind because everybody has a different definition of peace. My definition of peace is to be in a room and write in my journal so therefore, there is progress in peace. So you'll have to rephrase the question for others.

Answer 5

If you are talking about World Peace, I would say it is going to take Years for us to enjoy Peace, all over the World. There has to come a time that people might change for the Better, and World Leaders are the ones that has to change, and try to make peace within Nations.

Answer 6

where you are searching for peace
peace is in you.
you can never find peace from your surroundings until you are in the state of peace.
peace , search it from your inside
if you have peace then you will be in peace and you will see everthing in peaceful manners and if you are in peace then you will try to spread the light of peace around you.
and if you have peace hen you need not do anywhere
you are talking about peace on the moon
suppose you go there then what next?
you will find peace because there was not peace around you on the earth.wish you best of luck.
if you don't get peace there despite of the fact there is peace on the moon then
it is the defficiency of peace in you.
develop how to create and maintain peace in you
contribute peace in the form of charity
peace:
how ?
compromise : nobody is doing and conflicts you are seeing
patience: peace and patience interrelated to each other.
have large heart to give space even to your enemies too
open up your vision
don't look down others
don't say i i and i am everything
say we we we we are chain.
share: share those things which have in surplus and which you can share.
think everbody equal
say i love instead of hate
look inside you and think how much good things and acts i can do.
don't try to dominate others because everbody is aware of his/her existence as man not as an insect.
think before you speak
live happy and try to keep others happy too
forget sorrowness and don't accept its existence.
do positive things and many more
then you need not to go to moon because you will find heaven on the earth,

Answer 7

Peace IS progress.

Things are done in life to promote peace, we hope for it, and some give their life for it. Our understanding of peace needs to change.

The real progress is in change. If things are always done the same way, the results will always be the same.

Answer 8

While it may seem that conflict engenders growth (competition, survival of the fittest, and all that) I insist that true progress can ONLY be achieved in peace.

Gardens. Education. Art. Science (hmm, that's a tricky one, isn't it, but space technology is primarily peaceful, and we've learned so much from it). Medicine. Music. Spirituality. Philosophy (and don't give me Sun Tzu's The Art Of War; that's an exception, dammit!). :-))

Not much time to indulge in any of these when all one's time is wasted on conflict!

I prefer the peace in my soul and in a garden or a deep wood to the peace of your moon and your graveyards, my friend! Why so gloomy?

Answer 9

Look to the future and pray and hope for peace and do not regress to the past where there is only suffering. I've read it in all the history books and the Bible...not many happy stories there...even our Saviour was crucified. All those books should be burned, so we don't get dragged down into the past's negativity.

Answer 10

Oh, I certainly believe so! The opposite of peace is destruction & regression, no progress there.
I've often thought it would be peaceful on the moon--more so if we hadn't dumped our garbage there, (as well as our garbage floating in space).
When I used to travel, I often visited graveyards. In Turkey-- especially, I think--they are quite beautiful. They're peaceful, serene.

Answer 11

If Hitler had won there be peace. All opposition would have been crushed. No one left to fight for liberty and justice. Of course, the world is still too greedy for the good kind of peace anyway.
