Generally, war is repugnant, but peace is welcome. While peace is the ultimate goal of all of our undertaking in this world, war has been inevitable in the course of human civilization. Does man have an innate taste for war? Or is it just an acquired scheme learned from human society? We only know that there hasn't been any period in the history during which the world was really at peace. Human beings pursue peace and prosperity through the establishment of families, communities, and nations. Why should we let all these be destroyed by wars?
　　To reduce the possibility of war to the lowest extent, I have two suggestions. First of all, education should be consolidated to eliminate the brutality and beastliness in human nature. Knowledge derives from education and is a surer road to wisdom. Wisdom enables us to distinguish right from wrong. I also teaches us restraint and tolerance, two effective means of preventing wayward killing and destruction. Another cure is religion. Most religions in the world advocate philanthropism and forgiveness, which dissolve hatred and revenge. Consequently, education and religion working side by side can transform a barbarian into a civilized person. With wisdom and love, the human race as a whole will detest war and embrace peace.
　　一般而言，戰(zhàn)爭令人憎惡而和平受人歡迎，雖然和平是吾人在世界上一切作為的終極目標(biāo)，戰(zhàn)爭在人類文明的過程中，始終無法避免。人類是天生喜好戰(zhàn)爭，還是后天在人類社會(huì)中習(xí)得技倆？我們只知道，在歷史上從來沒有一段時(shí)期世界是真正處于和平狀態(tài)。人類透過家庭、社會(huì)，以及國家的建構(gòu)來追求和平與繁榮，又怎么能讓這一切被戰(zhàn)爭所摧毀呢？
　　要將戰(zhàn)爭的可能性降至最低程度，個(gè)人有兩點(diǎn)建議。首先，必須落實(shí)教育，以去除人性中的殘酷與獸性；知識源于教育，同時(shí)也是通往智能較穩(wěn)當(dāng)?shù)囊粭l路。智能使吾人明辨是非，亦教導(dǎo)吾人自制與容忍，自制與容忍乃防止任意殺戮和破壞的兩條有效途徑。另一帖良方是宗教；世界上大部分的宗教主張博愛與寬恕，而博愛與寬恕可化解仇恨和報(bào)復(fù)。因此，教育和宗教相輔相成，能夠?qū)⒁靶U人蛻變?yōu)槲拿魅恕Ｓ辛酥悄芎蛺郏w人類定當(dāng)厭惡戰(zhàn)爭、擁抱和平。
