What really is peace?

Sometimes I lay alone doing nothing but wondering. Wondering what tomorrow has in store for us. I wonder, if it is going to be just another day under the shadow of reassuring falsehood of peace brought (bought) through truce or a day full of bloodshed, hatred & agony.

I wonder what peace means. Is it just the signatures of two diplomats, two premiers of the warring nations on a piece of paper which states that they agree on what are the ten things they disagree to?

I wonder if peace has become just a word which has no significance, a word which is languishing in oblivion a word which no one seems to care for.

I wonder what all this boils down to… Is it our hatred for each other or is just our foolishness. I wonder whether killing of innocent people is justified by the reasoning of “jihad”, by the rationalisation of “ethnic cleansing” and by all other illogical reasons.

Some times I lay alone and wonder…

Wonder if I’ll ever get the answers to my questions. Wonder if people will ever understand the word “peace”.
