Peace...
Today, 30th January is a Festival of Peace; a day that is dedicated to the Roman Goddess Pax...
so I thought I'd do a quick little blog with a couple of quotes about peace:
If in our daily life we can smile,
if we can be peaceful and happy,
not only we, but everyone
will profit from it. This
is the most basic kind
of peace work.
— Thich Nhat Hanh
~~~
If we are to live together in peace, we must come to know each other better.
— Lyndon Baines Johnson
This is so true... and, above all, we must come to know ourselves better, as well as each other, if we are to live in peace...
Think about how you can live a more peaceful life...

When anything comes to you, first ask yourself, "Will I be maintaining my peace by getting this, or will my peace be disturbed?" Ask that for everything. People you would like to be with, possessions you would like to acquire It doesn't matter what you want to do; strike that against the touchstone of peace. "Will this rob me of my peace?" If the answer is "Yes, you must choose peace or the other thing," you should always choose peace. If the answer is, "My peace will not be disturbed by it," okay, you can have that and still have your peace. That should be our aim.
