As individuals, and as nations, we talk glibly of peace, and how to establish it, but only in an abstract, rather narrow- minded way. To some it is merely a respite from war; to others it is a foolish dream which had best be forgotten. Peace is neither of these. It is, certainly, the absence of war, but it is not that alone. It is a dream as well, but it is far from being a foolish one. The greatest mistake is to define peace as a negative guality. Peace is as positive a guality as war. We must cease to think of it as a passive, quiescent state of affairs, or as an interval between wars. We must realize what peace means. But even when we fully understand its meaning, peace is not easy to achieve. It requires more than the guidance of inspired leaders, more than the vain sacrifices of eternal wars to end wars, to accomplish peace. It means the ceaseless, untiring effort of every single individual toward peace, for peace is primarily a question of harmony between individuals. And striving for peace is not merely talking of its desir- ability. It means the shedding of prejudice, prejudice of class, of colour, and of nation- ality. It means the absolute willingness to forget oneself, to understand the points of view of others, and to accept them if neces- sary. Peace cannot be brought about until the world has been made almost perfect, free from injustice, from crime, from oppres- sion, and from poverty. Such a world is difficult to imagine, but so it must be if we are to have peace. And lastly, peace can only grow out of a firm desire for it, and the absolute con- viction that it is a necessity. We are too prone to believe that war is inevitable, and that there is nothing we can do about it. Wars have been raging for centuries, but by the same token, peace has also existed. We must realize that war is an evil which has to be overcome, and that all through the centuries the desire for peace has fostered great deeds and noble thoughts. Whenever war breaks out, man has failed in his mission. There is a theory that eternal peace would mean eternal stag- nation. If peace were no more than the absence of conflict, this theory would be true. But peace must be striven for, since it is necessary in order that humanity may have time to produce works of art and to forward the progress of civilization. Peace is an ideal which cannot, perhaps, be reached. Nevertheless, it, like perfec- tion of character, must continue to be an ideal after which to strive. Peace is not impossible, but human nature must change greatly before it can be achieved. A. Bethune — Nightingale
