Finding Peace

 

Finding Peace

In his sleek, black sports car, a wealthy man arrived at a serene valley. He took a moment to marvel at the scenic beauty before him, muttering, "Finally, I made it to this calm and silent valley after enduring so much turmoil." As he walked further into the valley, he noticed a middle-aged man sitting serenely near a trickling stream of water. "When did you arrive here?" the wealthy man inquired. With a gentle smile, the man replied, "I live here." The wealthy man admired the man's simple yet contented lifestyle and commented, "You are fortunate to live in such a peaceful place." Upon hearing this, the man smiled and asked the wealthy man, "What brings you here?" The wealthy man paused thoughtfully before responding, "I seek peace and harmony." The man's smile widened, and he gestured for the wealthy man to close his eyes. With a hesitating nod, the wealthy man obeyed. After a minute passed, he opened his eyes, only to find the middle-aged man had vanished into thin air. Feeling a sense of unease, he turned in all directions to search for the man but instead heard a haunting voice speaking to him. The voice cautioned him that no amount of serene valleys or tranquil places could bring inner peace and harmony if he did not possess it within himself. It reminded him that one could drive a luxury car to such places, yet without an internal drive to be peaceful, it would merely be just another drive. Nodding solemnly in agreement, the wealthy man found a spot near the stream and sat down, deeply contemplating this profound revelation.

Ultimately, he realised that embarking on a long journey to seek peace was futile; true peace had to be found from within.

Listen, Understand and Respond

  Listen, Understand and Respond Most of the time, people listen to respond rather than to understand. By the time the other person finishes speaking, the listener is often already formulating a response. Let’s explore what happens in such situations. While listening, we may be trying to engage our logical brain to recall our memories and creativity for a response, or we may be accessing our emotional brain to defend ourselves against what is being said. For example, if one person talks about ways another could improve, the listener might offer excuses such as a lack of time, resources, or support. Alternatively, they may bring up personal emotions, like health or family issues. These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position. During this type of conversation, the listener may appear restless, exhibiting a lack of eye contact or head nodding. In such interactions, th...
