WAR IS PEACE (1984)

For those of you that have read the novel "1984" by George Orwell, will have encountered the motto: War Is Peace.
i have decided (forcefully :p) to Breakdown this Motto and see how many levels it can apply to :D
Theres is of course the classic excuse that in order to have peace, there must be war. This applies to the Motto in the sense that in a state of conflict two partied battle in a war in order to keep there own "peace."
My personal belief is that no matter what you do, you can't satisfy everyone. so i believe that your peace is somebody else's war, its the universal law of duality, in order for someone to win and prosper, someone else must fall and crumble. Its a matter of physics and balance.
People can ask why is there even a "darker" side to everything, why must there be a good and bad, heroes vs. villains etc.
if you think about it, you will notice that if everything in the world was good, we would not know it was good, because we would have nothing to compare it to, for example if everyone in the world donated 1000 $ a year to charities, it would be a normal thing to do so, even though in actuality doing something like that deserves some praise at least. let's say nobody in the world donated ever, and one day a man or woman donates 5000$ to charity, everyone will be shocked to the extent that they feel bad about being on the selfish side, they will sub-cauntiously hate the "good" person. this is a big and twisted way that something like peace or the "addition" of peace can result in war, which will eventually stabilize everyone into a "new" peace.
In the end of the day war and peace are the same thing, people strive for a new goal that doesn't agree with another group of people, in order to find a "common" ground these people will have a war, to achieve peace. this peace then becomes a new war to another group of people who have there own goals to achieve.
War and Peace are mere illusions that are conjured by the uplifting morale of the people and their leaders, a pseudo feeling that blooms from the inside of every goal seeking heart.
