In this crazy hunt for answers to complex questions our brain can't comprehend, we find ourselves as incomplete people. I mean once we are broken, we think that nothing is left of us and we fail to make any progress; but I think the ultimate triumph of peace can only be gained in complete nothingness.
The art of noticing fulfillment in nothingness needs to come from within, no outside source can provide us with the happiness our soul requires. A very renowned Indian poet Kabir Das in one of his couplets acquaints us about the true and pure blissfulness which can be found within ourselves. When we are trying to prove ourselves simply to be called worthy of the things we are getting, we start giving up on things that we actually like. This happens when we set our goals too high without measuring the length of our hands and we fail to reach those daunting goals.
Having big dreams is a part of success but in this journey, if we are cocooned by despair all our victories seem small. Celebrating things that bring momentary happiness can create memories which we will hold on forever; embracing small achievements in times we come across setbacks and failures might fill up the void between peace and ourselves.
According to English peace is just an abstract but like all other abstract concepts it holds deep meaning
