Once there was a king who lived in one kingdom far away . He summoned all the best and renowned painters in the land.
" I am looking for a painting that depicts peace ! "
Over a hundred entries of masterpieces showed up but only two gave a very good impression on His Majesty. The first painting was a scenic view of crystal clear lake . The still water reflects the tall trees and grand mountains . White drifting clouds and flying birds decorate the azure sky .The second painting was a rain forest and a magnificent view of cascading waterfalls and an inclement weather .
It was a surprise for every one . The King chose the second painting ! The King , as he looked closer , saw something behind the curtains of waterfalls - a bush with a nest . In the nest were little baby birds being fed by the mother bird .
Peace is poise under pressure and the acceptance of what is . Peace is not the absence of turmoil , conflict , war and climate changes . It is the nature of the world to give us pain and misery . Inner peace and equipoise is " peace " in the midst of un-surmountable problems , and even in situations that would shake the fundamentals of one's beliefs . Or even at the point of one saying - " God , Why hast thou forsaken me ?"
There is no peace if you don't forgive and forget.
There is no peace without love.
There is no peace without truth.
There is no peace if there is so much hurting going on.
There is no peace if you don't do the right thing.
The greatest injustice in the world today is when you can not teach a child to understand the meaning of the word - " Peace "
To all the people out there seeking for peace , affirm by saying -
" There is peace within me , there is peace within me , I am peace !
