"When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us.

When our community is in a

state of peace, it can share that peace with neighboring communities." - The Dalai Lama

All things that we show, starts within our inner self. And so as inner peace. When our heart and mind is
in a serene and calm state, it is reflected through our behavior. And eventually, we can be able to spread
this with people around us. This principle also applies to a nation because what makes a nation is the
people in it.

The world have been striving for world peace and having inner peace among individuals can be the key.
But how is this possible when we are blinded by greed, hatred and selfishness? When we are also at war
with ourselves?

Sure, we all have our own battles that haunt us everyday. This blocks us from having peace of mind
because problems stress us out. Sometimes, when we have unsolved problems at home, this continues
to ruin our mood the whole day which also leads us to being easily annoyed or irritated. We cannot help
but to let out these emotions.

Some people also satisfy their anger through violence. Sometimes, we lose our cool and just let
ourselves be driven with emotions. At this times, we lose our peace. And at times when we lose peace,
our state of mind becomes unstable resulting to unjust and aggressive decisions.

But it is not right to let ourselves express freely without restraint. We must also consider other people's
feelings. Self control and rational thinking must be present. We should be calm and our minds must not
be clouded in order for us to think clearly. Our problems is the twin of life, it is there, it is inevitable.

We should just learn how to cope up with it, and to be positive in every aspect of life. When we learn
how to think calmly, even with challenges in life, eventually, we can share this feeling with others.
Everyone can have the benefit.

We can be at peace with others and when everyone in a community practices self-discipline, when we
have found inner peace within ourselves, a community will be tranquil, quiet, in absence of war and be
harmonious. In a community where everyone respects each other's opinions, then peace is possible.
