Striving for Peace
Lionduck
Veteran
in Philosophy
Peace is our goal
Peace is our mission
Peace is a simple task
Peace is the hardest task
But we must always be striving for Peace
Not the pauses between wars
Peace with no wars, save the ones we constantly fight within
(Where we truly strive for peace)

"War and Peace," they say.
When everyone wants "a piece,"
how can there be peace?
Here: "Make peace, not war."
Easy to say; hard to live.
No "piece;" then there's peace.
The first step to peace in the outer world
Is a commitment to harmlessness.
Not just to want peace,
But to be peace.
Set the example
And inspire others.
Walk the way first,
And then make yourself known.
Hurt people hurt people. Some things are best not paid forward. Break the chain of hurt. Be the one to squash it. Don't let it carry on through you to someone else.
Well said @FleaMarket
The theory is simple as @Lionduck and @Vimalajāti mentions but not always easy to implement because of our 'hurt karma' if I can put it like that.
I will recommend again a metta/tonglen practice I use when walking. Yep active walking meditation. Breath in negativity from your walking environment and breath out metta/rainbows of goodwill.

We are a piece of peace …
Do not tell this to people; 'you are a piece of peace'. They might hear something different …
