You do have a modicum of peace of mind here, but it's as unsettled as any other place.

Other people do not have to change for us to experience peace of mind.

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.

-And what would you do if you lost a child?
-I would think I was going to die, Elena said. But I wouldn't. I learned long ago that I must give up my child to the earth, to God, to the world, to death, to the possibility of death, to the possibility of disease, and in doing so I became at peace. Because I had let my child go. And in letting the child go, I became colder, more distant, and more at peace. But I still loved the child, don't be wrong. As you love your child. I am sorry.
