Inner Peace, not Inner Pieces
My discovery – the key to finding inner peace, and losing the inner pieces.
In all my research for my new project, reading books by philosophises and physchologists and researching artists and poets I have discovered something which has illuminate the world for me.
Truth is beauty and beauty is truth. True beauty, true love, true joy are found in knowing that the glass is not full, but not empty, but being able to say, it is half full, not it is half empty. You must accept the good with the bad, the joy with the pain. Reality is made of dreams and of real things, to deny one or the other is to ask for disaster, you cannot live in reality and never dream, you cannot live in dreams and never live ----- in dreams you cannot experience, you cannot touch or taste or smell or feel, and in reality if you do not dream you cannot imagine you cannot have memories you cannot feel emotion. You must allow yourself to do both. You must realise that life and dreams have capacity for the good and bad and in order to make peace with yourself and your life you must accept this you must take the rose with its thorns and enjoy its beautiful smell even if a thorn pricks you and makes you bleed, do not throw it away but be wary of the thorns you know it has, yet give yourself a chance to appreciate its beauty ----- then you cannot ever be disappointed or surprised. Fall in true love and know that person is beautiful yet flawed and accept them for it, feel true happiness and know that for every bad thing that happens for everything you lose, gd gives you something good as well to be happy for, if you accept the both, rather than enjoy the good and ignore the bad or rather than deny yourself of the good so that bad doesn't disappoint you --- you will never be at peace, and you will always be disappointed because reality, the good, the bad are impossible to avoid and the only chance at happiness we have is by being ready, and facing them, and by being intellectually and emotionally aware of what the world and its people are made of, what we are made of, that we can never be perfect that we will make mistakes, and that the people around us know this and expect no more and no less from us. This is the lesson I have learnt now, that the good and the bad come hand in hand and that i must accept this and still be able to focus and enjoy and appreicate the good and yet not ignore and dismiss and avoid confronting the bad, in order to find peace of mind, heart, body, soul, I must look for the balance that exist in all things, I must find balance in myself and in the world and people around me.
