If you want to know what peace is - it is no longer defined as simply the absence of war or the 3 types of violence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace - it is very interesting to realize that peace itself is a thing, not the lack of another thing.

If we take away violence, but do not build peace or learn how to build peace, the void left will just fill again with new violence. Hence it's important for everyone to learn to build peace, so when violence is taken away, we can fill the gaps with peace.

The issues described by OP are results of types of violence inherent in our systems. - this post is not about the current wars but the OPs stated issues - despite the wars also fitting in this category when abstracting like this.

[from] a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice
