About this Quote

This quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson speaks to the idea that peace is not something that can be attained through violence or aggressiveness. Rather, peace is something that can just be attained through understanding. This implies that in order to achieve peace, we must be willing to comprehend one another and interact to find common ground. We need to be willing to listen to each other, to compromise, and to work together to find options that are helpful to all parties included. Peace is not something that can be required upon somebody, but rather something that must be earned through mutual understanding and respect. By collaborating and comprehending one another, we can create a serene environment that is advantageous to all.
