“Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of creative alternatives for responding to conflict - alternatives to passive or aggressive responses, alternatives to violence.”
Dorothy Thompson quotesAlong with others I know, I wondered how Peace would look when it was achieved. I like this quote because it seems to say everyone always stays active and involved in the process of Peace. I don't think Peace means we all sit back and wait for it to happen. It is a collaborative in which together we learn to create new ideas and a new world whether it is in smaller situations such as interpersonal relationships, families, organizations, communities, etc, or in a larger national and/or world arena.
