Does peace feel the gap of peace?
Does peace feel the gap of peace?
I know this might sound like an absurd or strange argument — that, for peace,
you need a peaceful environment or a peaceful mind. I may agree with this to
some extent, but at the same time, it’s not that simple. The real reality is
more complex — tangled in a loop, perhaps.
Peace is not just the silence that a certain aroma brings,
nor just mental silence either.
Maybe I don’t know the real meaning of peace.
Maybe peace can be defined in countless ways.
But in the end, what matters is how the general mind perceives it — how this
early age of ours understands the idea of peace. After all, we aren’t born
equipped with the ultimate truth of the world. We act based on how we commonly
perceive, as close as we can to the real realm.
I think peace is not merely a sudden or temporary fragrance.
It’s not just about your current environment, the people around you, or the
work you're doing at this very moment. These things are only fragments — ways
to check how you respond in the moment. That reaction may hint at your
relationship with peace, but it isn’t peace itself.
Adding more to it — I feel peace is not simply mental
silence or inner stillness.
Let me define it the way I believe in it:
Peace is a process — a process of how you are being, how you
perceive, respond, believe, or observe things.
It doesn’t depend solely on whether things are good or bad, happy or sad, light
or heavy. It is a constant, ongoing phenomenon, shaped by every stage of
life and every place or situation you find yourself in.
To say it simply — peace is more about how you refrain
from falling into a loop.
If your inner self constantly craves peace, and you keep
telling yourself that one day you will get it — maybe when your time,
position, or situation changes — then, unknowingly, you are constructing a mind
that needs a condition to feel peace. You’re feeding the loop. And
because of this very condition, you may never reach that perfect moment. You
may never understand that peace was never a place to reach — it was never
something to be acquired.
It is a process. A constant, continuous process.
And to have peace, you must learn the process — train your mind to be
at peace, rather than wander endlessly behind it.
Over the years, what I’ve come to understand is:
We see the world in timeframes.
And while facing our problems or wrestling with hard moments, we often tell
ourselves: There will come a time when I’ll be at peace.
But the truth is — peace is not bound by time.
That “one day” might never come.
So where exactly does peace live?
Where is this bird’s nest?
I would say —
It lives within the process.
It dwells in those moments when you feel like you're moving forward,
even amidst the struggle.
