"Peace to me means  when people are not being mean to others. Next, peace also means to me when you have peace and quiet. Also, peace means there is no chaos. Chaos means there will be no fighting, war, kicjing, hurting, and hostilities. It also means people are friendly and they are nice. When my brother is mean to me I say lets have peace. When my sister is mean to me I say lets have peace. Sometimes when I say, "calm down" I'm telling myself to feel peaceful. Having peace inside of me feels real good. I love peace!"
