The Potential of Peace

Peace is a great word with plenty of potential. However the meaning of this word; in it's highest aspects will never quite be reached.

In life you'll find that you may be able to try and find peace, but all you endure is perhaps a small portion. The world is never full of peace. It may be in one place for a while, but like a pendulum, havoc will overshadow it again.

But while this shadow is over one place in the world there will be another that came out from under that shadow. It's at this time that you have to take advantage of that period when you don't have the shadow over your life. It's these moments that you have to cherish and squeeze every bit of enjoyment out; because it's only a matter of time before that shadow comes back again.

You'll find, when you cherish those moments of peace, you seem to get a longer period from being out of under that shadow. But no one can stay happy forever and you need to have a break from peace once in a while; otherwise you wouldn't know what peace really was and take those moments of pleasure for granted.

If the truth be told it's unnatural for the whole world to live in complete peace. There have been many great leaders in the time of man, with many great ideas to make the world a peaceful place. However it seems that these great people are assassinated by people afraid of a peaceful world; an unnatural world.

But, what's wrong with an unnatural world? What's wrong with a peaceful world? No one really knows, because no one has ever truly experienced one. As long as there are assassins and people afraid of change in the world the full potential of peace will never be reached. Instead hope will exist in the world and shine it's true potential for those who want true peace.

What Do You Do When Someone Drops $20?

When someone in front of you drops a twenty dollar bill, the instant instinct of most of us is to keep it for ourselves. However, in my case I would not be able to cheat somebody out of their money. Why? Do you ask? Simply because giving the money back is the right thing to do.

That twenty dollars just might be the only money that persons has and it may be the only chance of his or her family eating that night. On the other hand, you could be rewarded. The person might be rich and give you the twenty dollars to keep for yourself, just because you made the effort to be a good Samaritan. No matter how much money a person drops; even a penny, I would still give it back to them and hopefully get some good luck at the same time.
