    In simpistic terms:

    It is when a set of humans or a nation subjugates another and shackles their fighting spirit. Usually after a while the victims rise up and war is once more declared. Peace does not mean everyone is happy, peace is a hiatus between wars.

    You are correct. It is the absence of war.

    Peace has to be more than an absence of war, because one could argue that a nation under a repressive regime committing acts of terror against its citizens is at peace.

    I would think peace would mean relative political tranquility.

    What if we could make everyone think exactly the same? Then there would be peace; however, within 5 minutes, someone would get bored and start something!

    True peace comes from within, the altar of God, knowing that we belong to each other, it's a process of changing opinions, eroding old barriers and quietly building new relations, it is a state of mind.

    peace is supreme and effortless at the same time. This is congruent to love, the easiest, but most powerful thing you humans can ever create, but yall are crazy(they know exactly who the King's talking to) and rather have everything, but that!!

    But the times will cease all that nonsense!!

    Peace is what you have when you wipe out every living creature in the world.

    If there is no one left to fight then you have found peace.
