Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker argues that peace means more than fighting having stopped. It is described as a virtue and a state of mind, expressed through goodwill, confidence and justice. Peace therefore requires positive qualities in how people live and act, rather than simply the absence of war.
