noun, interjection, verb, peaced, peac⋅ing. n.
freedom of the mind from annoyance, distraction, anxiety, an obsession, etc.; tranquillity; serenity.
Peace signs are everywhere we look, they seem to be all the rage nowadays.
They are plastered all over t-shirts, purses, scarves.
People wear them just because they like the way they look.
Kids throw up a peace sign in pictures because they think it's cute.
People forget the significance of the peace sign.
Peace is the single thing that everyone desires, the thing that everyone hopes to see before they die, the feeling every person hopes to feel.
The peace sign symbolizes the worldy goal that we have yet to achieve.
Humans as a whole desire it, but don't strive for it.
We aren't accomplishing anything by walking around with a peace sign around our necks.
Have we come to think of it as an impossible state of mind?
Peace is attainable, available to anyone who has the right mindset.
They say peace is only acquired after you die, R.I.P. right?
I believe if we live in peace, our souls can rest in peace also.

i think that as human beings we DO strive for peace. i think we have a hard time achieving it or perhaps recognizing that we actually are peaceful because we're in such a fast paced and addictive world, that we don't slow down enough to enjoy the tiniest moments of life that allow for peace. the symbols and objects we create help to remind us that these are the things we are striving for. not necessarily taking the place of the actual emotion. i agree with you that it is oftentimes easier to think that we are personifying peace etc whenever we slap a bumper sticker on our car or put on a t-shirt, but we still seek what we're looking for. whether it be peace, love, joy etc.
