Let’s get rid of the suffering and bring real peace, which is not just the absence of war, but the absence of all negativity.

The line frames “peace” as an inner condition rather than merely a political state. By contrasting “real peace” with the simple “absence of war,” it argues that conflict is only one outward symptom of deeper, pervasive negativity—fear, anger, resentment, and suffering—that can persist even in stable societies. The imperative “let’s get rid of the suffering” suggests an ethical program aimed at transforming consciousness and everyday emotional life, not just institutions or treaties. In Lynch’s public rhetoric, such language often aligns with a spiritual-psychological view: lasting social harmony depends on reducing inner turmoil and negativity at the individual level, which then radiates outward into relationships and communities.
