Defining PEACE

What is YOUR definition of Peace? Here's what Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary has to say:


peace

1: a state of tranquillity or quiet: as a: freedom from civil disturbance b: a state of security or order within a community provided for by law or custom
2
: freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts or emotions
3
: harmony in personal relations
4 a: a state or period of mutual concord between governments b: a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity
5—used interjectionally to ask for silence or calm or as a greeting or farewell
at peace: in a state of concord or tranquillity



My definition of peace would involve non-violence, freedom from oppression, and living in harmony with ourselves, each other and the planet.

Please, comment and let me know what your definition of peace is!
