No peace, no satisfaction (#1330)

It is a disturbing sight to see people struggle mightily with what they dislike around them all the while ignoring what is wrong within themselves. The first clue to whether someone has their life and emotions in order is if they are at peace with themselves. There is no whirligig of activity that has no sequencing to it that makes sense, there are no peaks and valleys of emotional display and most importantly, there are no actions that cause hurt or harm whether consciously intended through commission or allowed through purposeful inactive omission. Peace within oneself is a flowing condition that exudes in every aspect of our lives. There is a calm that is exhibited that allows for all of us to see the big picture at any given time. Most of us spend our time in the moment of our living and rarely do we get the opportunity to see the big picture as a constant throughout our day. Yet when we have found peace within ourselves, we do rise above the continual frictions that define modern life and settle with a comfort in the knowledge that we are not on the edge of existence like most situations are inaccurately portrayed. We are merely at a crossroad that requires us to make a choice. Simple in implementation but hard to remember with all the chaos that surrounds us. Peace is the most natural way to live out one's life and putting aside all the bad behaviors that can infiltrate our characters is the first step toward finding the sweet pot in life that all the money or power in the world can supply. Peace is a choice and living in it requires that we not act rash but to relax in a little wisdom and enjoy the ride of life.
