Peace Of Mind: What Will You Pay?

January 25th 2007 22:33
If you have peace of mind, what are you paying for it? If you do not have peace of mind, what will you pay for it? The answer, while may be financial, need not be. Or, in many cases, it is a combination of financial and other.

I suppose most people take peace of mind for granted, thusly do not mindfully give it value. You know, values. Those things that are inherently important to us. Valuable.

It may take a real calamity--financial, medical, occupational, legal, marital, or otherwise--to lead us back to what is important and valuable to us. In the end, I surmise, peace of mind is at the core.


How do you think of peace of mind? Must you do all your hard work and toil prior to having it? If so, then you may be trivializing the importance of peace of mind. Do you 'need' to have peace of mind before you can function effectively in the world? If so, I think I share that ideal. Although, one may need to be able to tolerate and experience a bit of the stress of life as a function of, well, being alive.

I do prescribe to each and all of you that you must be able to return to a state of peace after skirmishing with the dragons and ogres out there in the real world. If you do not have that place to refresh, regenerate, and rejuvenate, then determine what you will do and pay to have it.

What will you do for Peace of Mind?

Hey,

i'm considering that "peace of mind" passes through: health, enouth money (what doesn't mean a lot), security, leisure.

You take all dictatorships you can find. They all worked while people had this...people don't ask for education, or liberty, democracy...they want "peace of mind"...anyway, what's the point of being free if you don't have any money?hehe

Cheers. Uula

Easy for a pwer person to take control if everybody is lost in the reverie of peace of mind? Is that what you mean? I suppose that is possible. I would hope for a more mindful-based POM.

And yes, money. I'll take a bit of that stuff!
