Peace is the<\/span>\u00a0lack of conflict\u00a0<\/span><\/b>and the condition of acceptance.\u00a0Peace\u00a0<\/span>allows individuals and society to reap healthy benefits<\/span><\/b>\u00a0out of their\u00a0potential.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Relevance of\u00a0peace within ourselves, for peace in the world:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Peace within is the\u00a0<\/span>key to good mental health<\/span><\/b>, which is crucial for roles as\u00a0parents\u00a0and\u00a0children\u00a0<\/span>at home,<\/span><\/b>\u00a0soldiers<\/span>\u00a0at borders<\/span><\/b>, leaders\u00a0in\u00a0<\/span>public life<\/span><\/b>, employees\u00a0<\/span>at work<\/span><\/b>\u00a0etc.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Inner peace helps\u00a0promote<\/span>\u00a0religious harmony<\/span><\/b>, which is the\u00a0<\/span>anti-dote to communalism.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. When people are\u00a0<\/span>satiated within<\/span><\/b>, incidents of\u00a0<\/span>crimes\u00a0like rapes, thefts, domestic violence, corruption<\/span><\/b>\u00a0etc.\u00a0are\u00a0likely to\u00a0be lower.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Inner peace is linked to<\/span>\u00a0lack of greed<\/span><\/b>, which has repercussions\u00a0against<\/span>\u00a0inequality\u00a0<\/span><\/b>of wealth, status\u00a0and income,\u00a0<\/span>rabid\u00a0consumerism, climate change\u00a0<\/span><\/b>etc.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Social conflicts\u00a0like\u00a0<\/span>Naxalism, separatism<\/span><\/b>\u00a0etc. can be ascribed\u00a0to lack of inner peace within individuals.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    However,\u00a0<\/span>peace within ourselves can also have negative repercussions:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. It can lead to<\/span>\u00a0supine morality and unaware citizenry.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0For example,<\/span>\u00a0attitude\u00a0of indifference<\/span><\/b>\u00a0towards\u00a0gender issues,\u00a0sanitation\u00a0etc.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Peace\u00a0within can\u00a0be a\u00a0<\/span>barrier to intellectual growth.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0For example,\u00a0<\/span>acceptance of\u00a0religious dogmas\u00a0<\/span><\/b>can undermine\u00a0<\/span>scientific\u00a0explorations.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Inner peace\u00a0is the building block\u00a0<\/span><\/b>of peace in the world. But\u00a0desire for peace must\u00a0<\/span>avoid\u00a0the hazard of\u00a0surrender\u00a0to dogmas\u00a0<\/span><\/b>and conflicts.\u00a0<\/span>(215\u00a0words)<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
