Does anyone in this world not want to lead a peaceful life? The dictionary meaning of peace is freedom from disturbance, tranquillity, a quiet and calm state of being, living in harmony with people, etc. But the million-dollar question is, How can one attain such a state?
Looking back, I was always struggling to cope with different life situations which disturbed my peace: my wife not behaving the way I wanted her to, my relations not appreciating my loving gestures, or a neighbour reacting in a particular way. In short, I wanted life to live up to my expectations. The result was constant friction with all those who came in contact with me, coupled with inner disturbance and turmoil. Without realising what my problem was, I was pulling on with life, leading a relentless battle with utter chaos all around.
