Peace seems to be a rather elusive thing in many people’s lives. Peace is a quality that is usually sought after by those of us who have the least amount of it in our lives. More often than not, it is sought from sources other than where it needs to begin, and like all things, it begins from within and not without.

The first step in finding peace begins with a simple lesson, a lesson that all of us will have trouble in learning… how to shut the fuck up. That’s right… shut the fuck up. That means you, and that most assuredly means me.

Shutting the fuck up is not as crass as it sounds.

Simply put Shutting the fuck up means just that… If you want peace, you have to stop talking, stop doing, stop changing and start being. After all most everything we do in the name of peace is not as important as what we do once we have our own inner peace. Sadly, we cannot have peace if everyone is so busy doing and not one person is being.

Therefore, I will say it again.
If you want peace… stop doing, start being.
It begins here….
Shut the fuck up.

Don’t you think it’s about time we all just tried to shut the fuck up?

It’s time to Stop explaining our individual perspectives, it’s not as important as allowing another perspective to exist in tandem to our own.

Think about it,it’s actually very simple…

Stop trying to change the world and start trying to change yourself, if others see… not hear… but see that your way is better then they will change of their own free will and not by coercion or strong arms tactics that always seem to fail anyways. Perhaps you may even conclude that your way could use some adjustment and you might be able to address the mote in your own eye that you have been avoiding by scrutinizing at the boards over the eyes of others.

Stop thinking about how bad things are; stop invigorating the problems of the world by creating new paradigms of horror. Stop believing in the negative hype that is dreamed up to cloud your mind to the truth of you as author of your own existence.

Stop killing each other in the name of your individual truth, screaming your platitudes as you die as a martyr or kill thousands under the umbrella of being a Hero.

If you want peace, you only need to listen and then listen some more. Keep listening… truly listening until you begin to understand that there is no real difference between yourself and your so called enemy other than a lack of communication or even common sense.

So now, I take my own advice and end this piece by simply…
Shutting the fuck up.
