Unless we are a hermit living in a cave, we all live in a society where we are subject to various pressures, and human relationships influence have a big – positive or negative – impact on our peace of mind.

One of the biggest reasons why we lose our peace of mind is that we all tend to expect things to be permanent, unchanging. Yet, the only truth in our world is that everything is impermanent. What we experience today is different from what we experienced yesterday or will experience tomorrow. So we have to adapt to whatever situation we are in, and try to be creative in how we can improve our situation, bearing in mind about the impermanence and being mindful and loving. Those thoughts will heal ourselves, people around us, and ultimately the whole world. Om Shanti.
