Why Peace Feels Out of Reach in Today’s World

Peace is very rare lately. It always seems like a mirage.

We feel like it is just little away and we will be at peace, but the moment we reach there, it moves further.

That little away are the ‘many wants’, we try to chase.

If I will get that car, that piece of jewellery, or that gadget I will be at peace.

Every year, if I plan some trip abroad, I will be at peace.

If I get just promotion I will be at peace and then every next one feel like that mirage.

The wants are increasing day by day, and the mirage of peace sliding further away.

Nothing in life making us at peace, every time we are running behind something or other, materialistic, non-materialistic.

Life became a glass with a hole, we keep pouring in it, but it will never be full.

And we came so far, it is difficult to go back. The needs, the wants, societal pressure, responsibilities, ambitions etc are making us to strive each and every moment.

And in this we are missing those moments of fun, a joke with a friend, few cheerful moments with wife and kid, sometime spent with the parents and many more.

So, my friends, PEACE is getting rare and nothing is helpful to get that now.

I am trying hard.
