conflict is eternal, present, real.
To attain peace is not to erase
conflict, but to accept it, not to
embrace your enemy as a friend,
but to accept that he is as he is, ****
him, and move on.

Harsh, I know. Forgive the roughness of this poem.
Its starkness may help you to understand. Peace cannot be
the absence of conflict, but rather the acceptance of conflict.
To have peace is not to have joy, merely calm, and an acceptance
of what comes. One must choose whether one desires conflict unaccepted, and the attainability of joy, or if one desires peace
and acceptance, and nothing.
