The Important Of Peace

 

Peace is something to live by and live on.  It is highly a valuable feeling where words are not good enough to describe.  It is far more than an emotional freedom and a stress free mental state occupying the empty spaces within our well being with the most extreme feeling of serenity and tranquillity.

As living humans, we need to want it just as much we need the water to survive and the air to live.  It is of paramount importance that changes everything on the path and journey on one’s life. 

When it is shrunk to a point where there is only peace, and just like that, the soul is liberated to do what it is supposed to be.  There will be harmony, trust and inclusiveness.  The soul gets to claim the purpose of purposes.  There will be calming balance, no matter how much hardships are thrown at us.

When we act from peace, we get to feel the river of love moving within us.  We maintain the connection with our higher state of being and, importantly, with divinity.  We learn to cherish what we do have while working towards what we want.

When there is peace, all we do will be from love.  The word ‘Love’ has the power to stand on its own.  It is more powerful when it is paired with ‘Peace’.  Why spend too much energy not with peace when we could use the very same energy doing more things we really want in life?

The feeling that comes with love-peace clangs inside us, within our souls, like a strong iron bell.  The feeling can be romantic, platonic, familial or fleeting.  It can be a feeling sullied by abuse, imbued with sorrow or twisted by betrayal.

Whatever the situation, let the feeling makes us brave.  Let the feeling makes us authentic.  Let it makes us to forgive ourselves so we can forgive others too.  Let it makes us to say ‘I love you’ naturally to the people we love, constantly.  Let us learn to say it, more often than not, when it matters the most.

How can you and I live to be with peace? 

You and I have to know the answer.  Knowing it is about wanting a good life, abundantly.  We have to let life be with more logical and rational sense while we are alive and not when we are dead.  Absence of an answer will beat us down.

Without an answer, we continue to carry on with so much collection of baggage emotionally, mentally and spiritually.  Not wanting to find the answer, we won’t get to win but lose the process in life. 

As life is about evolution, we need to know.  Failure is when we do not try to find it out.  However, do not ask too much why, too much what, too much how and the many where to find it.  Too much analysis, or over thinking, leads to paralysis.

Observation is far better than accumulating the intellectual know-how.  Fact is, our brain cannot cope with much and there is no limit to knowledge.  Instead, we need to optimize with what we already have.  There has to be a limit in searching for meaning, not by the numbers of books and/or articles we read, but by how much we learn from experiencing life. 

At some point in life, one has to stop the academic learning and ask oneself questions by not the quantity of his material researches but by how much he can experience.  We are not what we know intellectually.  There is no wisdom on intellect since life is wisely measured by the quality of experiences.

While we search for meaning, we should see and feel if it is coming.  We have to be truthful to ourselves.  Peace is self creation and not a gift others give, whatever that means.  It is our duty to seize it and how genuinely we feel connected with the inner self.  Do not abandon the inner child within us.

Life is fragile and simple.  What makes it complicated is with the way we think.  Peace calms our thinking mind and gives clarity to our emotional heart.  We, as humans, either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves happy.  The amount of work is the same.  We ought to choose it wisely.

We need to learn to cherish what we do have while working towards what we want.  Question is, why are we not making it a daily priority to responsibly live with peace?  Why we are not working it out right to embrace peace for ourselves and for everything around us?

And, when there comes a moment where we feel peaceful, we say ‘Thank You’ out loud.  It is too easy not to make the effort.  It is in gratitude to voice out that peace prevails, even when it is fleeting.  To blame for it is not staying forever is to eat up all that is good about life.
