Where is peace? Person after person, nation after nation, generation after generation we are searching for peace. We try so many different things to try to find it. We enforce new laws, elect different presidents, start new wars, end old wars, save people and kill people all for PEACE. We have tried pluralism, socialism, genocides, and democracy and have not found it. We look for it in ourselves, in our leaders, in our programs, and in our abilities but can not find it. We know that we had it and that we want it but where did we leave it?
When I was missing something as a child my mom always told me "It will be the last place you look." I think the same could be said of our search for peace. When we gained the knowledge of good and evil we also forgot something; we forgot peace. We left peace in the garden and will find it in the last place we will look. The last place we will look is in the new garden, heaven. Maybe that is why gardens always seem so peaceful to us. They are a snapshot memory of the long forgotten, often searched for peace. Our world won't find peace until it looks in the very last thing that will exist, heaven.
