Ideology of Peace
PEACE IN NATURE
~ 105 ~
the food a man requires for his physical sustenance
can come into existence only when nature’s factory
converts the non-edible into the edible, and man’s
digestive system further converts this edible
material into flesh and blood.
The matter of peace too falls under this general law
of nature. Peace is vital for our social existence but
we cannot find ready-made peace in this world.
Therefore, in like manner, peace can be had only by
those individuals – or society – who have the ability
to convert non-peace into peace. We can find peace
only when we have demonstrated this ability.
Now let us see how this non-peace can be converted
into peace. This process can be briefly summed up
as giving a positive response in negative situations.
Our world functions on the principle of
competition. That is why challenges and
provocations are never absent from any situation.
Our world can never be free from them. That sole
remedy for this is to refuse to be provoked even in
provocative situations. Peace is the result of such
unilateral ethics.
