What is Peace?

The first thing that comes to mind when I hear peace is war. I believe that without war there can be no peace. Many people would like to think that it is possible but really that kind of thinking is fairytale. Not every person is born with a good heart, everyone on earth has had different upbringings and some are worse than others. In order for there to be peace we have to fight for it which is kind of an oxymoron. Just think about it, even in a house hold it’s difficult to keep peace with family members. There will always be conflict, which is just human nature. Of course there is a difference between conflicts at home and conflicts between countries, for example, I’m not going to invade my sister’s room only because she can’t keep the restroom clean. But countries do go to extremes sometimes.
I don't think i can picture myself living in a perfect world. And what exactly do you mean by peace? Does that mean no one ever fights or argues? That everyone is always in a happy mood? This is why I don’t see true peace being achievable, because it’s unrealistic.
