“WAR IS PEACE” this is a line from the novel “1984” by George Orwell .

Even if you have not read the book, this line might put you in position to question that why the author has said “war is peace” .

Well , it even puzzled me initially . I could not find any logic in these lines , I even tried to search on internet, even asked people if they could explain this line to me .

I couldn't understand the real meaning behind this line, but as I read the whole novel, my understanding became more clear as to what the author what to convey to us.

Well your and my perspective could be different on this line also.

So here I am , to write what impression did  I perceive from  this line .

From my perspective , war is said to be peace , BECAUSE TO ATTAIN PEACE , A WAR HAS TO BE FOUGHT.

To be more precise, WAR PRECEDES PEACE. YES!!! You read it write my friend, war doesn't always mean to destroy peace , throughout the history of human being wars were fought for two reasons , either to attain peace or power. When the powerfull ones started exploiting and oppressing the weaker ones . So in order to have their rights back , the poor/the less powerful ones used to revolt .Yes revolting is also a form of war, because smaller revolts leads to bigger revolts against the opposite side and then eventually it lead to war.

And when we say war , it need not to be necessarily the type of war which is fought by guns, tanks, soldier, explosives etc. 

Am talking about the war we fight with our inner self. We constantly fight our inner regarding emotions, we try to suppress our feeling.

It could be a feeling of jealousy, love , hatred, insecurity. “Am not supposed to feel jealousy, am not supposed to like that person, how can I stop myself from hating that person , why do I feel so insecure ”. 

And we keep questioning ourself as to why feel certain way towards a certain person/situation. Often times we assure ourselves that it's ok to feel this way and that way. And our soul doesn't come to ease till we actually sit with our own selves , talk with our own soul, and we try to understand our own self as if why we feel certain way, how can we change, how can I not feel jealous/insecure and try to accept the reality, change our perspective. Only then we understand the reason behind our insecurities or any other feeling and then we find a solution . At times the solution could that we just need to stop over thinking, or we just need accept and love ourselves the way we are, understand our worth, understand the other person's position and situation.

And in this way we keep fighting, questioning, winning and losing all with our own self , till the time we don't reach to an answer/solution which soothes our soul and heal us.

And only then our mind is at peace.

We all keep juggling, struggling, fighting with people, situation, friends, and our own self untill we attain peace .

We fight with our emotions we feel for others, we try to suppress it , and believe me fighting with one own self is the most tire some and exhausting battle you could ever have. You might win the war with enemy if you possess more material, greater technology .

But winning over you own emotions is not a easy task.

And suppressing the way we feel is the biggest war we fight.
