Conclusion: The Importance of Having Peace in Our Lives

As defined by Wikipedia, Peace is the concept of societal friendship and harmony in the absence of hospitality and violence. (Source)

Every person seeks peace in their life, whatever stage of their life they might be in, it is a basic human need.

A more peaceful person can inspire a more peaceful society, and there are several ways to achieve inner peace.

One method of achieving peace that professionals suggest would be giving time to one’s self. This allows the person to relax and reflect on their thoughts and emotions and helps them come to terms with what may be troubling them.

Another way one may achieve inner peace is through healthy self-analyzation of one’s past, and worrying less about the future. Worrying about things that are out of an individual’s control oftentimes makes a person judgmental, dissatisfied, and anxious, making it harder to attain inner peace.

To find peace, one must also make room for forgiveness, the forgiveness of others, and one’s self.

Peace brings about harmony which is essential to society. It is a long lasting value that has formed cultures and communities. Through peace and harmony – respect, that we all psychologically craved – can be achieved, as most disputes are brought about by differences in race and religion.

Having peace and harmony means dealing with conflict among parties in a fair manner which is overall beneficial for everyone.
