If peace is a state of being, or understanding, then it's an ideal, goal, and sometimes outcome. The methodology one takes to achieve an existance of peace is almost secondary. There are a lot of activities in life which seem counterproductive if taken out of context (ie. cutting a body open to do surgery, or say, making a mess so that you can reorganize and clean a house).

There has to be an agreement on what peace means, firstly...is it a state of submission, or is it a state of harmony and tolerance?
