Is there anything more important than peace in our lives? Superficial people, who don’t reflect on the issue, will surely answer that there are plenty of things more important than “peace”, because peace would be a consequence of achieving what they value most of all: such things as health, wealth, beauty, success, fame, power, romantic love etc… They believe that, obtaining one of these things, or several of them, will automatically bring along peace and happiness. They think of happiness as the fulfillment of their desires. Nothing could be farther from the truth. No one can say: “I am a powerful/famous/rich/beautiful person” and be automatically happy. Can you?
