Sometimes, nature stays still like a portrait image without any movement. Don't ever miss that moment. Let it be anywhere around the globe. In that still nature, we can see peace floating slowly all around. When we zoom into that nature, we can see the intensity of peace filled everywhere. But, nothing in this universe needs or mourns for such a peaceful situation. Everything in the universe seeks a pace at every moment, not for peace.

If an eagle is somewhere in that still nature, the most probable thing the eagle mourns for is the wind so that it can take an easy flight. The leaves may be looking for a supply of CO2 from somewhere as fresh as the Oxygen it supplies. The soil looks for something like water. If there are humans, we can hear the cry of huge dreams. To stop dreaming is never a solution to change this scenario. We need both pace and peace in equal proportion to move on and lead a beautiful life. When this proportion level changes, we get stuck in boredom.

A Maharishi who meditates under a Banyan tree doesn't search for peace. Instead, he captures this fleeting peace present in the environment. Humans are living in this World as members of different circus companies. They showcase various talents to survive by running and jumping behind the fake glitter. The fine statement for such glitter is that they are generally fake with shades of being original.

When war comes, it erases peace along with anything that glitters too. This makes Gaza, Israel and Iran places where life suffocates and struggles to move on without any peace. These places are similar to a wrecked ship that has lost its route. Being lost in a vast space with their salty tongue makes them crave their mother's love. Justice is to be given to those who survive here even without a mother.

Though most of the people are merely existing here as evidence, history is made by them. Life seems far away for them, but it's not too far away. Finding peace may sometimes be tough, like filtering happiness from an extremely sorrowful tale. Indulge in the art of filtering and bring light to your soul.

Humans always regret their past. Worry about their future life and forget to live in the present. Let the attitude shown towards the past and the future be the same. In the fast-moving world, never forget to live in the present by spreading love filled with peace. Being in a mindfulness state is the best period of a human's life where you can jump away from self-destructive thoughts. Though such thoughts are part of our day-to-day life, we must make some smart moves like mindfulness. Thus, erase the human from behind the times that lives inside you like a baby.

The leaders of every nation like to punch the face of other nations with their hatred and idealism. This hatred gets planted as a seed in the mind of each nationality. Much severe versions like terrorists are an add-on to these factors. Peace will never be showered from the sky by any doves. Missiles may be showered... But never peace!

" Every single day I will be fighting for you with every breath in my body. I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve. This will truly be the golden age of America. " These were the words of Donald Trump after being elected as the President of America for the second time. The character, Big Brother from the novel '1984' by George Orwell can say like Trump and manipulate the minds of people. O. V. Vijayan's much-acclaimed novel 'Dharmapuranam' draws the character, Prajapathi, who is a satirical representation of those who wielded power during the Emergency period in India. Even today these characters stay close to everyone's heart as they are similar to the leaders of all time. The show is going on and will be going on like a fairytale.

Living a shoemaker's life is sufficient if you can attain peace. People with and without shoes run around with big feet trying to grab something. The world may have betrayed you — "You'll get peace from here". Betrayal is a choice made by oneself. Make a wise choice and find peace blushing from white cheeks covered with a black mask. I'm not the one to tell more about peace. Since I see it less everywhere…
