Traditionally, Hinduism has adopted an ancient Sanskrit phrase Vasudhaiva kutumbakam, [36] which translates as "The world is one family". The essence of this concept is the observation that only base minds see dichotomies and divisions. The more we seek wisdom, the more we become inclusive and free our internal spirit from worldly illusions or Maya. World peace is hence only achieved through internal means—by liberating ourselves from artificial boundaries that separate us all. As with all Dharmic Religions, (Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism), ahimsa (avoidance of violence) is a central concept. Michael Mousseau's economic norms theory links economic conditions with institutions of governance and conflict, distinguishing personal clientelist economies from impersonal market-oriented ones, identifying the latter with permanent peace within and between nations. [6] [7] In fact, near the entrance to the headquarters of the U.S. Strategic Air Command at Offutt Air Force Base stands a large sign with a SAC emblem and its motto: "Peace is our profession." [14] The motto "was a staggering paradox that was also completely accurate". [15] One SAC Bomber— Convair B-36—is called Peacemaker and one inter-continental missile- LGM-118- Peacekeeper.

After our war, will we have another Kosovo, or a Nuremberg?” God commands us to seek peace (Psalm 34:14; Matthew 5:9). We should “make every effort to do what leads to peace” (Romans 14:19). Of course, there will be some people who do not desire peace, but we are still to do our utmost to be at peace with them (Romans 12:18).

However, free trade does not prevent a nation from establishing some sort of emergency plan to become temporarily self-sufficient in case of war or that a nation could simply acquire what it needs from a different nation. A good example of this is World War I, during which both Britain and Germany became partially self-sufficient. This is particularly important because Germany had no plan for creating a war economy.

In the dictionary, it’s equated with tranquility or the absence of war. We see it as broader. Peace is the ability for people to live in harmony with themselves and with each other. In practice, however, that can mean many different things to different people. In a speech to the U.S. Congress that drew a standing ovation, Zelenskiy appealed for tougher sanctions on Russia and more weapons to help his country fight "for the values of Europe and the world". Dmitry Peskov, Vladimir Putin's spokesman, meanwhile ruled out a meeting between the Russian president and his Ukrainian counterpart until Kyiv "did its homework on the negotiations and agreed their results".After all, isn’t it the search for power and status that brings us to do things that we wouldn’t normally do?
