If you believe in a dualistic universe, then you cannot have one without the other. There cannot be good without evil to compare it to. Peace is a lack of war and vice versa. Some feel that war and conflict is within man's nature, while at the same time he yearns for peace and prosperity. But so far he does not seem to be able to achieve that without conquering and subjugating other humans.

Is peace an antonym?

It is an antonym of war. I'm not sure what you mean... the word peace can't be an antonym unless it's compared to its opposite, such as war.


Is war the solution of peace?

War is not the solution for peace. Peace can be achieved through diplomacy, communication, and mutual understanding. Resorting to war often leads to destruction and loss of life, making it counterproductive to the goal of establishing lasting peace.


Do you need war to have peace?

yes war is necessary for peace. The people who say war never solved anything have obviously never heard of slavery, nazism, or merceless dictatorships...so i guess the answer to the question is sometimes. Guess now the question would be who should determine when war is necessary...


What is the paradoxical meaning of go to war for peace?

You can't always have peace by being peaceful, sometimes you have to fight a war to obtain peace, because no matter how peaceful you may be, you can still be invaded by some other less peaceful country. War is the opposite of peace, so it is paradoxical that you might have to use war to obtain peace. No matter how much you dislike war, even if you think it is absolutely the worst possible thing, you may still have to fight one. World War One was described at the time as "the war to end all wars" although this tragically proved to be quite wrong. We try to create peace by defeating the people who want war, yet even when we do so, there always seems to be a new reason for war. So, we can observe that even though we sometimes have to go to war in order to have peace, that is not a complete solution. We need a more evolved form of human civilization, in order to have a lasting peace. But we may have to go to war, on the way to achieving that objective. And in the nuclear age, war is more dangerous than ever before. It is possible that we may someday have a war that is so destructive that it will finally result in the peace of the grave, for everyone. That too will be a paradoxical outcome, a war that everybody loses.
