The first step for peace is the presence of social unity. People need to be unified in order to live peacefully together. We also need to have an open mind and place a lot of value on human life and all life in general.

I think we need to teach future generations about the value of human life and place that value on the highest moral levels. Maybe that would reduce the number of wars that people willingly support and participate in.

I know it's not as simple as I may have stated above. Many factors influence the outbreaks of wars, and we need to get to the root causes.

Peace Brings

Peace brings freedom that we crave,
From great stress, it shall save.
One main thing, it does assure,
We'll feel at ease and secure.

Peace brings friendliness and joy,
It is sacred, not a toy.
Rooted deeply in respect,
Justice something, must protect.

Peace brings us tranquility,
Along with much needed - stability.
Sense of quiet, and goodwill,
Peace is serene and very still.
