Symptoms of inner peace

Be on the lookout for symptoms of inner peace. The hearts of a great many have already been exposed to inner peace and it is possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions. This could pose a serious threat to what has, up to now, been a fairly stable condition of conflict in the world.

Some signs to look for:
  • A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences.
  • An unmistakeable ability to enjoy each moment.
  • A loss of interest in judging other people.
  • A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.
  • A loss of interest in conflict.
  • A loss of the ability to worry. (This is a very serious symptom.)
  • Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.
  • Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.
  • Frequent attacks of smiling.
  • An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen.
  • An increased susceptibility to the love offered by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.

I read the post again and again yet could not make up my mind as to why I feel that peace is more of an affliction today than the norm ! Or is the word epidemic been used by mistake ???

If peace today is an ailment - how wonderful would it be, if all of us were struck with it !! I wish this for all those who visit here ... May you be struck with eternal inner peace and learn to enjoy it.
