For violence to erupt provocation is enough; while for peace to prevail man has to nullify provocation with moderation and restraint.
Man needs to convert non-peace into peace, for only after this conversion is he able to play the role of a peaceful person.
For peace to be a reality in the world of man, man has to be a well-wisher rather than an ill-intentioned person of others.
Human beings are by nature egoists. Whenever their ego is hit, it turns into a super ego. As a result a hostile reaction is produced which easily becomes converted into hatred and the urge to do violence. The only way is to avoid touching another person’s ego.
