Peace 101 |
PEACE is not merely the absence of war. It is much more than that since peace means harmony.
We must be prepared to make heroic sacrifices for the cause of peace that we make ungrudgingly for the cause of war. There is no task that is more important or closer to my heart.
Albert Einstein
JUSTICE is about equity and fairness. It is not simply about the law because laws are open to interpretation, but justice is the weighing of all the alternatives available and finding that which offers the best conformity considering all circumstances.
Peace is the work of justice indirectly, in so far as justice removes the obstacles to peace; but it is the work of charity (love) directly, since charity, according to its very notion, causes peace.
Thomas Aquinas
