Thread: What would you prefer? Peace or Freedom?

There should be a third option in the poll which should read BOTH ie Peace and Freedom

It is my belief that you can't have one without the other. My answer is I want both.

I think peace is important,no peace is no freedom.

Obviously, if we included that option, everyone would choose that one. The point is to make you think and choose, if forced too.

If you have peace, you obviously have the freedom to achieve that peace via any means necessary. So in most cases, they are both mutually exclusive.

Any means in a sentence with achieve,.. sounds like "the king rules" for me.
I mean if you get the peace, but anyone tries to do anything, that doesn't go along with the "peacekeeper/s" - you obviously loose your freedom.
If you're free and someone does revolt or something (there are a lot of crazy people out there) - you loose the peace.

I would choose Freedom and a strong will to acomplish both under certain circumstances.

It all depends in what contest those two words are put to compare. Freedom is the most precious thing that can be taken from a single human being, whilst concept of peace is more globalised rather than individualised. So I would say probably peace is more important globally, but freedom - individually.
