The anglo-french word for “peace” is “pees” it was first used in the 12th century. It is akin to the Latin “pacisci” meaning “to agree”
Peace : to be, become, or keep silent or quiet .
In the last words of Christ, he speaks about peace
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
John 16:33 KJV
He repeatedly talked on the subject till he left his disciples
Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
John 20:21 KJV
Sending his disciples with peace and in peace , was one thing peculiar about Christ.
I ran into a conversation with a dear friend, we had some roughs recently and I decided to stay away a little bit (for my peace’s sake)
I know it was just a conflict of interests and not that we necessarily are bad (for ourselves).
Today after my routine devotion and breakfast, I got a text and the conversation began.
I just want to share with you some inspirations I got from the conversation:
“So I can tell you this, hoping that you understand and believe that life is a teacher
When it whispers we tend to ignore
When it speaks boldly (and loudly) sometimes we pay a little attention
When it goes practical ( or brutal) we get broken and finally understand its lessons”
” All I’m concerned with is my peace ”
” That’s why I have to forgive and remember nothing that hurts ”
” I value my peace more than my medicine, more than family or friends or food or money”
Look, all that everyone wants in this life is peace of the mind,
Why do we look for money :so we can buy whatever that can guarantee peace (and comfort)
Why do we vote in and out governments to ensue peace in the polity so as other activities can thrive.
Why do we take time to find that ” perfect man” or “lady” and when we do, we pay dearly to keep them for ourselves, because we want peace.
Neonates, babies, toddlers, kids, teenagers, young adults, adults and even older adults want peace. This subject of peace hence becomes an issue of major discuss.
We have people who even spend their years in varsities studying peace management.
Today the world wants peace more than anything.
Do you want peace?.
Let me humbly recommend a few tips to secure for yourself peace of mind:
- If you want peace, then go for it : never take any thing other than it, no matter how much it’ll cost you got for it.
- Peace comes at a cost, be willing to pay for it
- ‘Avoid any rush, rushing is not at peace with peace ‘
- Expect any thing from any one (the good the bad and the ugly)
- Never exchange a good conscience with materials (money or fame or even a promise of safety and or security)
- Always take some time (may be a few minutes) to sit quietly and calmly during the day
- Avoid quarrels even if you may look foolish
- Surround yourself with peace lovers
- Never dwell on a hurt, learn to let go
- Relationships are interest based, learn that.
- People come and go, things start and end sooner than later………… Not one thing is worth the universe of your peace of mind.
- If you’re a Christian always read the bible, there is a verse for every mood and every day or moment.
- If you like good friends, kind friends loving friends caring friends, peaceful friends, PLEASE BECOME ONE
- If you’re talked down on. Don’t worry, tell yourself the better truth or the bitter one whichever is more convenient for your peace.
- Never be anxious, that stuff will soon become old
- Never be eager it never really profits you
- Never hesitate to ensue peace in any conversation
- Please avoid people who never value peace, people who love other things more than peace.
- Money can’t bring peace by itself alone, it takes a considerable amount of your choice and determination
- Learn to listen to older responsible and matured peace lovers (no matter their age)
- If you truly want peace be ready to FIGHT for It or FLIGHT for IT if need be.
So dear, these are few gold-plated pieces of advice I can hand to you.
Stay peaceful, stay cool.
