"Peace is another word abused by those with hidden pecking order goals. It usually mean, 'Since I'm on top, let's keep the status quo'; or, 'Now that I've managed to climb on your back, would you please be kind enough to sit still.'
"Justice is the term used by those on the bottom of the heap who are itching to move up. When these folks refer to 'the struggle for justice,' they generally mean, 'Let's keep fighting until I come out on top.' Once the devotees of justice have seated themselves on the uppermost rung of the ladder, they too almost invariably become staunch defenders of 'peace.'"
