What would it mean to live in peace?
If we want to create peace in our lives, we need to have a realistic idea of what it means.
It doesn’t mean a life free of problems, a life of constant calm. It doesn’t mean we have everything we want. It doesn’t mean that everyone always agrees with everyone else. If that is the idea people have of what it means to live in peace, it’s no wonder we think peace is impossible.
We all have moments of peace in our lives now. The goal would be to have more moments, to have peaceful moments come more easily.
It would mean that in those moments when we are not in peace, we know what to do to bring it back.
It would mean that our surroundings – our lives, our job, the people around us – mostly contribute to our having peace.
Living in peace is not unattainable, not hopelessly distant. You have already done it at times, and you can do it again. It is not an impossible dream.
