The word peace brings to my mind a picture of myself in a hot tub with a glass of wine and a cigarette. I think of peace of mind, being stress and worry free. Peace means my roommate's psychotic kids aren't running around the house arguing over what to watch on tv or fighting for attention. To me, peace is quiet solitude that lasts for more than just a few moments. Peace is no texts from my sister asking to borrow money, and no hour long phone calls from my grandmother giving me the play by plays of her fascinating day. It's waking up to an empty house on a saturday morning with no errands to run and nothing to do but relax and enjoy life. It's doing what I want to do when and where I want to do it, and no one else having a say in it. Peace is inner calm and serenity, feeling as if I don't have a care in the world. Peace can be elusive, a concept that must not be taken for granted becuase it is often so hard to come by. Our lives are a constant hustle between work and school, family and friends, many of us don't have the luxury of spending any time alone.
It is true that true peace with urself is hard to come by and very rare. I find it cool how there are so many stresses in ur life yet u still are able to find ways to enjoy ur life and others in it.
ReplyDeleteI agree the first peace that should come into mind is that you are able to have peace for yourself and not worry about other things that stress you.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, about peace being inner calm and serenity. to be at peace, you have to first be at peace with yourself.
ReplyDeleteVery well said! I couldn't agree more, peace starts with no one but yourself. If you don't have inner peace then you and the world around you will continue in chaos. It is very important to be stressand care free as often as possible.
