When you think of peace what come to mind?

When I think of peace hmmm well first I start by using my imagination. Peace for me is a natural world which in we see everything we want. Peace can be weird, flexible, and unique for me. The tree terms come to mind because I am a dancer, an in order  to find peace within me, I have to a, be weird, b, stretching to improve on my flexibility which bring me to peace, and c, being myself and not following others. I believe peace is a state of mind where one can be who they really want to be, without caring who is looking and what others say about you.  When I think of peace I imagine someone hugging me and not letting go. Telling me that everything will be okay. Peace can be brought up when one is young or all grown up. One can find peace but only if one truly want it. Peace is like the color white, it looks good, on everyone and on everything. Peace can be inside beauty. Peace CAN be strong or weak. Peace can be knowing your family is safe. Peace can be being in love and knowing you can die happy. Peace can be chanel shoes or a rolex watch. Peace can be anything you desire, by having such materialistic things, one can feel at peace. Peace can be eating all day, watching the house wives of Beverly hills with your dog on your lap and eating chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. Peace can be perfection, which mean it does not really exist but you think you have it, but you really dont.

I can definitely say that I have a great life. My worries are usually problems for me because I take them too seriously. But then I see films that show me how people from other countries live and I call myself a lucky man. By watching Greg help those who are unfortunate makes me want to work harder and stop complaining about my issues. Not only to improve my life but to be successful, this can lead to helping others in the future. During the film I closed my eyes and imagine what it what it would be like being in such conditions, drinking dirty water and not having an education. Well I can definitely say that it was not a good feeling. Greg can be seeing as an inspirational man, and by helping others he can certainly expect respect. I believe by showing to the world what such man is doing can open more eyes, and more hearts so more wealthy people can help those who need the support. I am no one to judge but I see my country, my people and I see them following the materialistic world.
