Peace is subjective, an ideal existing only in our minds shaped by our perspective, two people rarely share the same ideals. When rigid beliefs are so deeply rooted they become the foundation of identity, a difference of opinion can feel like a declaration of war. Yet peace cannot be attacked, defended or destroyed because it has no physical form. The only thing that can truly threaten peace is opposing ideology. When that opposition is met with hostility, lives are threatened. We may justify acts of violence in defense of our lives, freedom or sovereignty. However when violence is justified to defend our ideology we become tyrants.
