Peace

“Peace, says Augustine, is not merely the absence of war. Peace is positive. It is rest in our end. After the stone falls, it is at peace. After the acorn grows into the oak tree, it is at peace in its treehood and does not grow any further. After the animal’s hunger is sated with food, it is at peace. And the human heart? Because ‘Thou hast made us for Thyself’, therefore ‘our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee.’ For man peace is another word for God.”
~Peter Kreeft
