The first thing we are going to do is determine the etymological origin of the word peaceful that we are dealing with now. In this case we can state that it derives from Latin and that it is the result of the sum of the following clearly delimited parts:
-The prefix “ad-”, which is equivalent to “towards”.
-The verb “placere”, which can be translated as “pleasing”.
-The suffix “-ible”, which is used to indicate “that can”.
Peaceful is an adjective that can be used to describe the docile, affable, peaceful and pleasant person. For example: “In the midst of the chaos, a gentle doctor reassured and treated dozens of injured” , “I consider myself a gentle man; but if someone hurts my children, I am capable of reacting in the worst way ” , “ The neighbors defined the suspect as a gentle and nice woman ” .
A mild individual is one who does not usually argue with other subjects and who, in general, is calm and in a good mood. It can be said that someone mild does not get angry often or show up in a violent way. Mildness, therefore, is a positive quality.
It is important to note that the notion of peacefulness can also be applied to what is calm and charming: “It is a very peaceful and sunny day, which invites you to spend long hours on the beach” , “The peaceful time will last until next Tuesday and then it will begin to deteriorate, according to what was reported by meteorologists " , " This is a peaceful town, with little traffic and few facts of insecurity . "
The idea of peaceful is often linked to meteorology. When the weather is good, there is no wind and there is no precipitation, it can be described as mild. These are the ideal days to enjoy the outdoors. Instead, storms and gusts of wind make a day not peaceful.
Numerosas son las obras literarias que han usado en sus títulos la palabra que ahora nos ocupa. Este sería el caso, por ejemplo, de las siguientes:
-“El Don Apacible”. Está considerada una de las obras más importantes de la literatura rusa de todos los tiempos. Fue escrita por Mijaíl Shólojov (1905 – 1984) y está conformada por cuatro tomos. Viene a narrar la vida y las contiendas de los llamados Cosacos del Don, llamados así porque se asentaron en la zona del río Don. Existen muchas teorías en torno a la misma, como, por ejemplo, la que expone que en su totalidad no fue escrita por el citado autor.
- "The peaceful light." It is a book by Louis de Wohl in which he takes Saint Thomas Aquinas as the absolute protagonist. However, at the same time he analyzes the time of that moment and even other relevant figures such as the King of France, Bacon, Saint Bonaventure or King Edward of England.
- "Peaceful Summers", by Anne Rivers Siddons. It narrates the memories that a 90-year-old woman brings to her mind about her summers of youth.
