HomophonesFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Peace (ahd: pēs, /piːs/, /pi:s/ Audio (US) (help·info), Symbol: ☮) is a term that most commonly refers to an absence of aggression, violence or hostility, but which also represents a larger concept wherein there are healthy or newly-healed interpersonal or international relationships, safety in matters of social or economic welfare, the acknowledgment of equality and fairness in political relationships and, in world matters, peacetime; a state of being absent of any war or conflict. Reflection on the nature of peace is also bound up with considerations of the causes for its absence or loss. Among these potential causes are: insecurity, social injustice, economic inequality, political and religious radicalism, and acute nationalism. From the Anglo-Norman pas , and meaning "freedom from civil disorder", the English word came into use in various personal greetings from c.1300 as a translation of the biblical terms pax (from the Vulgate) and Greek eirene, which in turn were renderings of the Hebrew shalom. Shalom, cognate with the Arabic "salaam", has multiple meanings: safety, welfare, prosperity, security, fortune, friendliness. The personalized meaning is reflected in a nonviolent lifestyle, which also describes a relationship between any people characterized by respect, justice and goodwill. This latter understanding of peace can also pertain to an individual's sense of himself or herself, as to be "at peace" with one's own mind attested in Europe from c.1200. The early English term is also used in the sense of "quiet", reflecting a calm, serene, and meditative approach to the family or group relationships that avoids quarreling and seeks tranquility — an absence of disturbance or agitation. In many languages the word for peace is also used a greeting or a farewell, for example the Hawaiian word Aloha. In English the word peace is used as a farewell, especially for the dead as in Rest In Peace, RIP. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Any suggestions for a peace themed bedroom? Q. I am planning on redoing my bedroom in something peace-themed. Two colors i want to use are light blue & black. I also want it to have this earthy feel to it. And I'm having trouble finding sheets & pillow cases with something peace related on them. HELP! Asked by [[cole]] - Fri May 30 10:38:33 2008 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments A. This is from cb2.com a division of Crate and Barrel. There is a little bit of blue in the sheets, so I would work more with that. The furniture is black and the tones are natural. I would also paint the trim in the room black if were to do something like this to help incorporate the colors since there is no white in the room. I hope this sparks an idea. Mander B. Answered by Mander B. - Fri May 30 11:50:53 2008 Can the adjective truthfulness bring the peace in the world? Q. I think the driving force to bring peace in some ones mind or the world as a whole is to practise the adjective truthful. Everyone should be truthful. This will make everyone GOD'S fearing and evil would not be able to drive any one crazy to destroy self peace or the peace of others and at large the world peace. The main thing which is missing people do not try to face the real truth of theirs lives or others lives. They act through preconceived opinions and ideas regarding others.

Q. I am looking to join an organization like the Peace Corps, but one that doesn't last two years. I was thinking about 6-12 months, but any ideas would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Many will expect you (or your friends and neighbors) to bear some or all of the cost. The Peace Corps gives you three months of training. You'll learn your host country's language, history, religion(s) and culture, plus get some vocational training. (I learned Malay, Iban and Hokkien, then practice taught for six weeks, under the supervision of a master teacher, for instance.) They provide dental and medical care, a living allowance and some after-service placement counsling. They pay for your air fare over and back. It would not be cost-effective to do all that for someone who stayed on the job for a couple of weeks.
