Travelling Thoughts

What is peace? Is it a peaceful existence because of the serene surroundings, or is it peace of mind that we are talking about?

As much as I love serene and peaceful surroundings, I also love the sounds and people in a city setting. So for me the peace is more about peace of mind. I would love to have that kind of existence where my family and I didn’t have to worry about monetary matters each month, or we could be content with the future of ourselves, and that there would be welcome routines in our lives.

Routines, on the other hand, can be boring and archaic, but at the same time, they can provide a great buffer against stress. This is because of the familiarity and peace they bring. One can rely on the routines to have some sense of security in otherwise chaotic situations. In other words: routines bring peace.
