My Perception of Peace

The obvious definition of Peace is the elimination of wars, violence and conflicts.
But what about the inner conflict that we all battle with daily?
In our struggle to find or define happiness, our mind has become chaotic
We have added so much noise with constant internal dialogue
We have even become slaves to intense emotions driven by fear and greed,
There is never an end to wanting. 

I believe Peace is bliss
It is silence
It is solace
It is a relaxed mind
It is even detachment

When individual minds are at rest, conflicts and struggles are undesired
Strong emotions become placid
Thought processes become clear
Everyone is calm.

When internal conflicts are resolved wars and violence appear meaningless
External strife dissipates
Harmony takes over
Life becomes a blissful journey…
