Very true. One can only rely upon oneself for peace----not somebody else or some other influence.

It does, because the source is within the individual, and the effects are the perception of the world.

Peace has been a major undertaking in my life, given my combative nature and restless temperment.

Beautiful, as always....thanks, I needed to read this after an interesting day at work. Reminds me of the song (can't remember the name, or who wrote it...just the lyrics)..."Peace I ask of thee oh river...Peace, Peace, Peace. When I learn to live serenely, cares will cease. From the hills I gather courage; visions of the day to be. Strength to lead, and faith to follow, all are given unto me. Peace I ask of thee oh river...Peace, Peace, Peace." Peace unto us all, my friend.

One day we must come to see that peace is not merely a distant goal we seek, but that it is a means by which we arrive at that goal. We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means. - Martin Luther King Jr.

"Looking outside oneself in the hope that peace will someday be a reality is to deny its source;" - I liked that line best. Good stuff overall.
