“War is not the only arena where peace is done to death.”
Tip: press → for another quote, C to copy, S to share.
Peace as a goal is an ideal which will not be contested by any government or nation, not even the most belligerent.
My attitude to peace is rather based on the Burmese definition of peace - it really means removing all the negative factors that destroy peace in this world. So peace does not mean just putting an end to violence or to war, but to all other factors that threaten peace, such as discrimination, such as inequality, poverty.
Maybe it is something to do with age, but I have become fonder of poetry than of prose.
Democracy is when the people keep a government in check.
