Peace is a conscious choice.

John Denver
About This Quote

Peace is a conscious choice” is a cliché that people use to express that peace is a decision that we make for ourselves. However, what people don’t realize is that peace doesn’t always have to be deliberate. In fact, peace can be a result of our unconscious choices. Take the example of a child who cries without any apparent reason.

The parents may assume that there is no real cause for worry and may assume that the crying will go away on its own. However, if the child cries for an extended period of time, the parents may become concerned and try to find out why their child is crying. This time may be spent researching possible reasons for the child's crying and the actions that could help calm the child down or achieve peace.
