Unfortunately what we sometimes think of as maintaining peace can end up being appeasement, sometimes being actively prepared to die for what you believe in, the 'striving' of which you speaks remains as the only viable option. In Islam this is called 'jihad'; however the greatest war is called jihad an nafs, or the greater jihad; the struggle against your own nature. My Latin quote was more as an affirmation of the antiquity of that view. I hope your striving brings you and our world peace.Sometimes even war and revolution has its place to maintain peace in my view.
