What is peace? People often say that peace is opposite of war. However, there are many other ways
to define peace. Some people say that peace means more than ‘no war’. Every year many people die in wars, but
more people are killed in many other ways.
Each year millions of children and poor people die because they do not have enough food. These hungry
people cannot afford to buy food they need. These people are not fighting in a war but they do not have peace in
their life either. Therefore, peace can also be the opposite of hunger.
Another cause of death for millions of people every year is disease. Many mortal diseases can be prevented
by clean water or cured by medicine. Few people die of dysentery in developed countries, but many people in poor
countries die of it and many other preventable diseases. So peace can also be the opposite of preventable diseases.
There are many wars between countries. However, people are also killed by people fro their own country.
Whenever there are political or religious conflicts, which often results in riot , some people get killed. Therefore,
peace can be the opposite of lacking freedom in religious beliefs.
