“Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and to still be calm in your heart.” Unknown

Personal peace is cherished, if not desired by most. But we should not sacrifice loving people to maintain any false perceptions we have of it. The way of love is the way of true peace. This means that peace comes from one’s actions not circumstances. We all need solitude from time to time, but a life of love and a solitary life would be hard to reconcile. Don’t let your peace of mind declare war on everything else.
