Peace

I read this blog called No Impact Man - it's a guy and his family who is trying to live in New York City with as little environmental impact as possible. It certainly makes my efforts to reduce my ecological footprint look puny.

However, I noticed this post today and it resonated with me. Particularly this statement.
When I have less internal conflict, I cause less external conflict. When I cause less external conflict, there is less conflict in the world.
You can read his post but basically he comments about an incident at home that could have easily happened in my house and his reaction was one that I recognised.

I need to work on this.

    "It simply means approaching life, not antagonistically, but with love."
