"평화"의 정의

Peace is not simply the absence of conflict - it is much more. It is, the satisfaction of our human needs, whatever they are. (Its counterpart would be unrest, the frustration of having one's needs unmet.) Therefore, "working for peace" means trying to satisfy human needs. "Enjoying peace" means having satisfied those needs.

오늘 부터 PeterPan이 읽기 시작한 책에서 발견한 "평화"에 대한 작가가 내린 정의로서 공감이 가서 글에 담아 보았다.
