Often time’s people confuse the meaning of peace‚ love‚ and sometimes war. Peace often times is the cure for many differences in the world today. If the world wasn’t always at a moment of not agreeing we wouldn’t have war going on. With all kinds of war going on it makes you think that there are all kinds of people with hatred in their hearts.
