What a marvelous article to read this morning. Thank you for stressing the importance of peace and providing some practical ideas on how to live in peace.
Looking for similarities with others truly does make it easier to live in harmony. It's far more challenging to live in harmony with those who see a different story in the details.
Thank you, Esther! It feels good to be heard. It is indeed more challenging in some cases than others to share peace while relating. It works best when we start with our intimate relationships and then slowly work our way outward.
Peace is all mankind needs for his/her entire life. And what it comes to relationships, peace outstands everything within a relationship. Peace in a relationship determines how long such a relationship will last.
As a solo individual; I do believe one experiences a genuine calm from within. From the experiences I've gathered PEACE BEGINS WITH ME. I bring it with me where ever I go.
Like WET or DRY or IRRITATED or ANNOYED, words describe deeper feelings within. Clearly one must each find a place inside themselves where breath flows easily and calm resides. It is then that I can share "peace" with another being.
The I CHING uses words like "AROUSED" or "STORMY" as well as "CALM" and "STILL".
Each of us face challenged times but to endure these encounters with life's changing circumstances ; I've leaned to practice developing a centered "calm" that gives each of us the endurance needed to walk through the winds of change.
WIND is a good example of what is in the outer world.
Find the stillness and there is a sweetness that every individual can share with each other.
That's lovely; thank you! I used to use the I Ching a lot, but haven't cracked it open in a while. As a programmer, I am amused by its binary nature and the way it splits into two octal triads.
