Peace and Serenity
At first glance, peace and serenity would seem to be synonymous and interchangeable. Indeed, it would be perceived that if you were peaceful that you would be serene; or if you were serene that you would be peaceful. We are not seeking to play a word game; yet it is worth noting and defining more clearly the inter-relationship and function of the concepts of peace and serenity.
Can you be peaceful and not serene? Or serene and not peaceful?

There is a perception that profoundness, the immensity or the importance of an event or a fact must, by its very nature, be complex.
