I need peace with myself, but that is not enough.
I need peace with my ideals, but that is not enough.
In order to be optimal, from my point of view, I also need to be in peace with today. Modernity, the world we live in right now. I disapprove the way things are done, how our leaders try to control the way we live, like if they knew better. But angerness, hate against injustice and contradictions brings me nowhere. They do not fit with my ideals, so I must accept, respect the way things are. But I won't agree with it.
Peace with myself, my actions, my body, my mind. Live now, feel the greatness of living every second.
Peace with my ideals, my goal, my way of life, my path, what will determine my actions.
Peace with the "actual", because the world is not only about me, there's a lot of people. Now is me, but now is also billions of other people, of other worlds. And through all this people, there are violent and blind forces. They exist because they had to, they are consequences. But peace is a way of understanding these forces, and to avoid them. Avoid they suck you in total non sense. Peace is way for me to draw my path through all this, towards my ideal world. Will it happen ? That doesn't really matters, since ideals are, and should be, so beautiful that it is impossible in an universal way, but possible on an individual point of view. They what fuels you. And ideals change too, depending on where I'll be, and who I meet.
The Earth is like a lone traveller, in the middle of the desert, looking for an oasis. You can tell people that the oasis exists, but in order to reach it, you have to help it.
It can also deny the existence of the oasis, that it is only an illusion. But we hope that it isn't, we think it isn't...It's seems obvious that it isn't, but we have no way to actually prove it, because no ever lived on a planet where peace, universal peace, was achieved.
Point A is now.
Point B...

Point B is the oasis...and what matters, in life, is to get to that oasis. It is a global thing, but also an individual search, because every human being is a world in itself. We have ups and downs, they are part of our evolution. The best thing we can hope for ourselves, is to die in peace. Because our life is short.
But the Earth has a much bigger life length, but it also have ups and downs. Ups, construction, uplifting enery, born again. Downs, chaos. Destruction is unavoidable and necessary, it is part of evolution, replace the old by the new. Society in the past century has changed it an never seen before way, the gap between generations is getting bigger and bigger. Life was rather simple before, working in the fields, family reunions... Now the possibilities are larger, and it is exponential. Good and evil are dancing in our heads, getting closer, we are losing our references. A man without any refences, any fixed points to follow a path, is a lost man. The same goes for the Earth.
Sorry for the vocabulary, writing in english is still a bit challenging for me.
