“Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.
What do you think about this quote? I have
been speculating on this quote to figure it out. Knowing the author’s
background, I guess it’s about being diligent that can make us be free from
pressures or slump. He is a lecturer, poet and essayist who wrote mainly about
self-improvement and successful life.
However I would like to apply it to world peace, not
only to individual peace. I thought world peace also can be brought only by ourselves and the triumph of principles. What would be ‘the principles’ in this case? It might be the principles of to get along with other people and not to fight with anyone. Yes, it’s love. In other words, not being selfish but being altruistic. Sounds really elementary, yet it is not easy to put in action. Again, there’s no other one who can bring us peace but ourselves, so it is us who
should make the principles achieve a triumph too.

How is it possible to be selfish and
altruistic at the same time? Be diligent for yourself and be loving for all of
us. In this way we may achieve a perfect peace!
