Which is better?
Happiness or peace…
Happiness is all pleasure.
Peace is just calmness.
Happy, we rogues

and peaceful are saints.

I believe both are necessary. If I had to choose one for eternity, I would choose peace because with it comes a level of happiness.

Peaceful, happy people. Agree with Sandy, peace will bring on happiness, but happiness tends to be shortlived and fickle. Good question posed, Manoj

Interesting stripped down minimalist form to bring home the dichotomy. This poem reminds me of Tagore's famous poem about the benefits of action versus inaction.
Very well done, manoj.

Thanks Richard,Sandy,Edward and John.
I try to practice the mixture of both ... happiness with contentment.
Dear John, thanks for your reference of Tagore, the Nobel Laureate.... yes, you are right.

i believe, happiness accompanies peace and peace accompanies happiness, they both are the two sides of the same coin, so i wish both of them from the omnipotent.
