# Peace is a process
Achieving and maintaining peace is not a fixed state, but rather an ongoing and dynamic endeavor. It recognizes that peace is not simply the absence of violence or conflict, but a continuous effort to address root causes of tension, promote understanding, build relationships, and foster sustainable development.

*Echter* Frieden ist ein idealer Zustand, ein Leitstern, an dem wir uns orientieren können, vielleicht (wahrscheinlich) ohne ihn jemals zu erreichen.
