'Peace' to me means… ✨
Being at peace can mean different things to different people. We have our own ways to acquire a sense of calmness in the midst of hardship.
So, how do you acquire yours? Share what peace means to you here! 💭
Be as descriptive as possible 😉
Not having stress hanging over your head and being free of time constraints.
@azureCurrent8407
So true.
To me it means an impossibility, at least in the long term.
Permanent peace would require, among other things, a government too powerful for anyone to resist effectively & a level of social control that would make today's China look libertarian by comparison.
@slowdecline48
Friend.
Jesus Christ can give permanent peace inside us. Here is what He sais in John 15.27:
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
@Helgafy I know you meant well but in this case, you're barking up the wrong tree.
I have never believed the claims made for Yeshua (Jesus' original Hebrew name), I do not believe them now & as for the future, my becoming a Christian is as likely as a politician in an electoral democracy making a career out of governing virtuously & not succumbing to influence from lobbyists & pressure groups. I have several reasons, some of which would take too much space & time for a thread post like this one....you can stop preaching at me any time now.
Also, we're talking about two different things. What you described is a sense of personal peace within one's own mind. What I was discussing was a state of peace in the real world, i.e. within a nation or throughout the globe.
Taking the time to enjoy the beauty around you (nature)
@Derekfan7695
the simplest form of it all. it's truly the best! ❤️
I completely agree! We don’t always appreciate the beauty of nature!

Peace means to me when I can "breathe" freely, no rumination, no procrastination just being in the now and maybe enjoying a gentle breeze or rays of sunshine gently touching my skin, tasting a fruit or just sit and be with myself in harmony.
Peace to me means a comfortable place to be in. Full of love or friendship to enjoy. Happy times with family. Reduced pressure and judgement. More time with people related to me or not.
@sshn07
Peace means purely living in the moment
Peace to me would mean not having to walk on eggshells or feel anxious all the time.
Peace is what I imagine it feels like to be comfortable in your body and your head. Peace would be a calm steady heartbeat instead of the scared rabbit that lives in your chest. Yo just be able to breathe. Peace would be a quiet head - with thoughts and emotions you can keep track of with no intrusive thoughts
@sshn07
to me, peace means being in a relaxed state of mind, not much noise around, probably some beautiful music going on ... or laughter of the ones I love. Having to stress for that period of time, even though a second ... Just a really nice state of mind to be in.
@Bubble006
I love how your definition of peace has a lot to do with the influence of sound. It's so worth mentioning. 💛 As someone who hates the TV sound in the morning (or any time at all), I seek peace soaking in the rare and brief moment from the sound of whistling birds in the quiet mornings while doing absolutely nothing, no phone, no work, nobody's talking, nada.
@sshn07 bejng at peace means feeling calm, no stomach clenching, no shoulder tightness, no heartburn. How do I get there? It's usually through ignoring those bad feelings and doing things I like, or doing something good
