The word " peace " is a non-thing, a nominalisation that cast in stone

in a state what is in fact a process.

 

What it really mean is the making of an agreement/bargain/contract so

that both side are satisfied and of amending that agreement if need be.

 

Making good agreements require special knowledge and thinking skills

on both sides and I think is much like programming good computer

softwares.

Which is a good thing since we're now right into the information age

and many people all over the world will learn to make their living

writing good " softwares " .

I didn't like his energy since it was far from peaceful from the

start and had a hard edge to it. No matter what he wanted I would

not have let him in.
