peace - the opposite of security

There is no way to peace along the path of safety, for peace must be dared. It is in itself a great venture and can never be safe. Peace is the opposite of security. To demand guarantees is to mistrust, and this mistrust in turn brings forth war. To look for guarantees is to want to protect oneself. Peace means giving yourself completely to God's commandment.
