Is total, complete and utter peace possible? The answer is no. No, because of today and how the media portrays peace and war. Also, no because of human nature and what peace does to the mind. How do you get peace? Either forceful negotiations or by actual war. (That's just the opposite of peace.)
             Peace is a hard word to define and get. According to the dictionary on my computer, peace is a period of time where there is supreme well-being and sometimes happiness. Peace is a period of time, would it be possible for peace to be an infinite period of time? Even with this superficial meaning it becomes hard to define peace. How long is this time period? Is there a way to get to a never-ending peace? There are several unsuccessful ways that have been employed in the past, in example certain civil wars. The American Civil War was a great example. The South wanted to be independent so that they could live without worrying about other people. They wanted peace. The North wanted peace by staying united, dealing with everyone. There just isn't any way to maintain peace.
             Media tends to glorify war, saying it is a necessary part of life. I looked on Google for a comparison. First I looked up peace and found just over 9,000 sites. Then I looked up war and found an amazing 140,000 sites. This makes for an interesting comparison. Why is there an overwhelming difference in sites? I don't know. I believe it has something to do with how human nature needs some stress in the life. Otherwise, we would be running around like crazy because we have nothing to do with our life.
             Peace is too, peaceful. Our highly developed minds need something to activate the billions of connections in our brain. Stress and (to be more particular) war make us think. Without war, peace will come into play. That peace would do something to eventually create conflict, turning into a war. This war wouldn't just be on the battle fiel...
