Deep dives

The Pursuit of Peace Over Happiness

The discussion emphasizes the distinction between pursuing happiness and finding inner peace. Happiness is often viewed as a temporary state influenced by external circumstances, creating a cycle of fluctuations that inevitably leads to disappointment. In contrast, peace is described as a stable, unshakable state within oneself that persists regardless of external factors. Achieving this sense of peace involves centering the mind and quieting the internal chaos, allowing one to experience life without the interference of fleeting emotions.
