Is Peace "Really" Important?


Superficial people, who don’t reflect on the issue, believe that there are plenty of things more important than “peace”. They think that peace is a consequence of achieving what they value most: health, wealth, beauty, success, fame, power, romantic love etc… They believe that, having obtained one or several of them, peace and happiness will automatically manifest. They think of happiness as the fulfillment of their desires. But no one can say: “I am a powerful (famous, rich etc.) person” and be automatically happy. Many problems and responsibilities, in fact, are connected to any way of "being". Human beings seem unable to just live in the moment and enjoy the gifts they have been given. Examine yourself and see what your situation is.
