I was Lost now I am found Peace is not Just a state of mind. Peace is not Just an attitude. Peace is not a commodity that can be purchased for a piece of silver. Peace is a philosophy. It is the total understanding, and the total tolerance, and the total love of that which surrounds you. For if you can understand and appreciate that which is happening, without any resentment, even though you may not agree; if you can tolerate the actions of others, finding qualities in their sins, you will be close to peace. Peace is not the total abdication of the spirit towards any one situation. For even in a peaceful state it is healthy to question. It is also necessary to see the other side of the coin, and understand that if a situation is not suitable for you, your situation may not be suitable for another; yet either situation is suitable in its proper respect. Peace is loving that which is around you, not blindly or thoughtlessly, but with the full realization that it has value, that it is spiritually fit, that it is part of you and your world. I try to live my world as peacefully as posible. see I have been in hell for a long time, and just resently I found peace with my self my anger my addictions. I am free!! I wish this freedom on everyone who fights addiction
