Peace in society is also thought of as an abscence of violence. In a peaceful community, it is safe to walk any street, alone, at any time of day or night. There is no fear of assault, murder, rape, or robbery.
Peace as a personal quality is the lack of apprehension over present and future troubles. It is described as a state of calmness and contentment. In Christianity, peace is sometimes described as a result of prayer... "let your requests be made known unto God, and the peace of God which passeth all understanding shall keep our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." (Phillipians 4:6) Often, it seems, Christians pray not so much to change God's mind and impose their own will upon Him, but in order to receive that great gift of peace, no matter the circumstances.
Peace is when you believe you are exactly where you should be in the universe, and you are completey content to be there.

Apparently, there are many meanings for the word Peace. Personally I think Peace means something different for everyone. Peace to me is sitting in front of the ocean and listening to the waves. This washes all my fears and worries away and makes me feel tranquil. I am sure everyone has something unique to them that makes them feel peaceful.
I also think Peace means everyone getting along in harmony. This world could use quite a bit more Peace in my opinion.
