Does peace cause conflict?

Do you know what it's like? When you ask people if they want peace, almost everyone says yes. But when they talk specifically about how to end a war, differences of opinion often arise. Some want to supply weapons to a country under attack so that it can defend itself, while others do not want to supply weapons. Some believe that country A must give in, while others believe that country B must give in. Where there was initially agreement, hope, and a shared desire for peace at the beginning of the discussion, such conversations often result in silence, helplessness, and disagreement. The energy for peace that was previously palpable fades away.

How can we solve this problem? To protect this energy for peace, we should separate it from the discussion. To do this, we need a place where the focus is solely on the energy, without any discussion. That is the idea behind Vote For Peace. We want to bundle these energies—the desire for peace felt by the majority—multiply them, and carry them back out into the world. Because we all need strength and hope in times that are full of questions and worries. We need them in order to believe in peace and find the strength to act.
