By His Will, He Shall Have Peace...

"Mind is the Master -- power that molds and makes, and Man is Mind, and ever more he takes the Tool of Thought, and shaping what he wills, brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills -- He thinks in secret and it comes to pass; Environment is but his looking-glass." - James Allen

Everything that has happened will be of significance to everyone of us. No matter how we try to deny this, this would remain a fact. And no matter how we pretend that we are no longer affected of what had happened, still there will come a time that we would realize that we are just fooling ourselves. Because everything that has happened is the very reason why we have learned life's lessons, and at the same time the reason why we have decided to move on and to keep living life the way it should be lived.

"To hope for such thing to happen is to wait for something that is impossible to come" - this statement bothers me a lot. Because if one will just continue to hope and hope and hope and hope, without doing what is right, or without even making a move for one to answer such hope or for one to even notice that the other one is hoping, then certainly it would be an endless waiting... an endless hope.

Life's complicated, and it's a sure thing. But if one wants peace of mind, then let not peace approach one's mind. Rather, let one approach the other one, and let their both minds meet for the closure of any issues or whatever it is that bothers anyone of them. It may not really be a total closure since I really don't believe that there's such thing as 'total closure', but at least each' concern has been presented and noticed... and only then that one's understanding would be a matter of his own piece of peace.

And if one has the will, he shall have peace.

Yes, I am learning. I am learning things that way you have touched and taught me.

DONA NOBIS PACEM: Grant Us Peace!

DONA NOBIS PACEM... GRANT US PEACE...

PEACE... is just a simple word yet connotes a HUGE meaning.

But what is really peace all about?

Understanding peace is just like understanding your own self and understanding others. So in order for you to better understand it, you should really have state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others where respect is gained.

Many different theories of "peace" exist in this world which involves the study of conflict resolution, disarmament, and cessation of violence. The definition of "peace" alone may vary with one's religion, culture, tradition, country, or even one's opinion.

Since I was born and have had my knowledge about the world and everything, peace had always been the issue in different parts the world. It has always been one of the greatest challenge for mankind and a dream that has yet to be fulfilled...

We use the word 'peace' a great deal. And more often, we connect peace with the context of war... war that really causes suffering, death and destruction on a huge scale. But peace is not only about war and relations between nations. Peace is a way of life — not that we are always the peaceful people we wish to be, but that we choose peace as a basic direction in which we are attempting to move.

All of us are subject to help peace happen — in our families, in our work places, in our neighborhoods, and in the wider world. Anything we do that draws us closer to each other, that inspires forgiveness, or that brings about real dialogue is considered a work for peace.

Peace work is healing work. In fact, this is one way of defining peace. Peace work is what we do to repair damaged relationships — healing between ourselves and God, healing between one person and another, healing between divided communities and nations. Those who work for peace are in fact working for healing.

So let us all work hand in hand... let us achieve our common goals of peace... let us be united for once and for all... The change is just in our hands.

GRANT US PEACE...
