What brings you peace?
Hi-ho and hello.
Peace. What brings peace?
Is it odd that I feel this question to be a loaded one?
What is peace?
Going to Google, one would find a slew of many ideas to what Peace is.
Peace can have many meanings, including: Tranquility, Security, Freedom, Acceptance, & Relationships. There are many ways to find peace.
This is something that I take with a patient and pensive heart as finding peace takes time and a finding of one’s self.
I used to take to searching the field of philosophy in hopes that these concepts would bring peace but no, I lament with a disatisfaction to philosophy as it seems unhinged and to fit the ego of the philosopher. This thinking brought the discovery of Carl Jung to me whose theory grasps hold of four functions: Thinking, Feeling, Sensation, and Intuition. His belief is that the whole of each of our experiences should be respected instead of disavowed, and that those four functions are the means of control that help us view and act in the world.
So I took to figuring myself out, I went through the Five Pillars.
- Good physical and mental health.
- Good personal and intimate relationships.
- Seeing beauty in art and nature.
- A reasonable standard of living and satisfactory work.
- A philosophical or religious outlook that fosters resilience.
Peace didn’t find me, or I didn’t find Peace after this. I was disheveled, as a matter of fact, realizing that I’m not happy, I became resentful to certain aspects due to waking change, wanting to better myself, and a deep worry that I was and am alone regardless of my marriage.
Does that sound like peace?
No!
But I am on gaining peace, so I continue here, I continue my school work and essays, I paint, sketch, and make sure to create as much as I can. It brings a contentment to my heart and a security in knowing that I’m working and putting effort to the energy I have. This is a form of Peace and I’ll take it, wouldn’t you?
C’est La Vie
