To maintain peace it is necessary to aggressively seek peace. This starts off with aggressively seeking a positive attitude – an attitude that is proactive. Peace does not come by accident and it certainly is not an indication of nothing going on. Quite to the contrary much has to be happening dynamically in context to maintain a peaceful state of mind. Conflict must not be avoided but must be engaged and resolved to the satisfaction of mutual parties. This requires demands upon self as well as solid expectations on the part of others. Situations are seen as hopeless when fear banishes the ability to cope. It is fear that must be banished by outflanking it with active goodwill and effective imagination. In the last analysis peace depends upon happiness which in turn depends upon spirited human capability founded upon providential trust.
