The Illusion of Adding for Peace

Many people believe that peace is achieved through adding or acquiring more—be it love, security, or better circumstances. This mindset is often reinforced by societal norms that suggest if peace is lacking, something essential must be missing. However, experiences show that continually trying to add more often leads to frustration and exhaustion, revealing that this approach is unsustainable. Recognizing this pattern can lead to a pivotal moment of acceptance where one can begin to seek peace elsewhere, beyond the confines of external circumstances and material desires.
