Looking for peace in turmoil.

Are we in peace ? Most of us pose the peace sign 'V' with our index and middle fingers, while taking snaps, but do we feel what we show? Have we experienced the ultimate peace of mind, where there are no worries, no tension, no strings attached, just a blank mind! Have we felt as light a straw floating on the sea? [barring the influence of alcohol, weed ;)]

Life is meant to be enjoyed, but are we doing justice to our own single life? Why do we always want to go that extra mile, to achieve what we don't have? If we fail, we bring misery, anger, sadness in our life. If we succeed, we want to go another mile, and the craving for an extra mile does not end.

Quoting arguably the best music group ever:

"So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here."

Absolute brilliance. Makes me ponder over my decisions, my mistakes, my life.

God Bless.
