Appearance is something absolute, but reality is not that way - everything is interdependent, not absolute. So that view is very helpful to maintain a peace of mind because the main destroyer of a peaceful mind is anger.

Appearance is something absolute, but reality is not that way - everything is interdependent, not absolute.

Do not confuse peace of mind with spaced-out insensitivity. A truly peaceful mind is very sensitive, very aware.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.


With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Of course, maintenance of peace of mind, at the maximum extent possible, would be the greatest success in a human life.

Peace is letting it be. Letting life flow, letting emotions flow through you.
