I say to you, “I want peace.”
So then I ask you, “Will you give me peace,
or shall I give you peace?”
But then soon after, I realized we should, instead, exchange peace,
because peace is harmonizing, it is compromise, understanding, and compassion.
It is not some object that you can give or receive. It is a goal,
a way of life that we should all try to achieve
with each other and through each other.
