There comes a time in our lives as humans when all we want is to be at peace. To be at peace with who we are, what we have, the situations or circumstances we are in and with the people around us.
Peace is the absence of turmoil, a state of stillness, restfulness, tranquility, the absence of war and conflicts. Everyone desires peace, everyone desires to enjoy a restful state of mind but not everyone has peace and on searching for it not everyone finds it.
