Peace is a state of no conflict. If there is no conflict, there is no personal investment. Escapism. It has always seemed a fairy tale, a devious leprechaun handing out prescriptive sedation under the guise of happiness. There will always be problems in the world, and I believe that is unfortunately necessary; without problems, without contrast, the need for valuation is obliterated. And that is simply not compatible with our primordial emotion-based hardware.
So, I'm aiming for "content", having psychological needs filled. It's an interactive stepping stone that lets you step outside yourself to more maturely assess and perform in life's rolling drama. (My phrasing here is horridly inaccurate to what I'm trying to say, but the words will not come so I'll just leave what I have.)
Peace is a passive drug, an over-rated depressant;
contentment is a steady stream.
