peace

Peace and freedom are two important things to mankind. But what is the essential relationship between them?

I argue that the most important thing for an individual is freedom, but peace is the most important thing for a community. For example, we sacrifice some forms of personal freedom (e.g., drinking & driving) for the betterment of the community (e.g., public safety).

Furthermore, I argue that America has oversold and overbought freedom but undervalued peace, both at home and abroad! This is one of the main reasons America not only is a failing state (Is America no longer governable?) but also may destroy us all as a species by inciting World War III (Will America lie all the way into WW III?)!
