"V'nasati shalom ba'aretz./And I will place peace in the land"(Vayikra 26:6)
Rashi says "If there is no peace there is nothing."
There are many people who would really feel satisfied with what they themselves already have. But because they see that others have more, they feel envious of those people. They actualy feel pain when they see that someone else has what they do not. But when a person feels sincere love for someone else, he is not envious of that person and it does not bother him if that person has more than him. Therefore the only way for people to really experience a total blessing with what Hashem has given them is for there to be true peace among people. This is the peace in which people feel love for one another and are happy for their good fortune. (Ksav Sofer, brought down in Growth Through Torah)
