“Peace of mind is not the absence of conflict from life, but the ability to cope with it.”— Unknown
This is a powerful statement from someone who is unknown. We can have a peace of mind in the mist of life’s conflicts. It’s about learning how to cope with daily conflicts. There are internal conflicts and external conflicts we have to deal with on a daily basis. Half the battle is to understand that external conflicts are unmet needs we’re trying to fulfill at the same time.
For examples, if nature calls two people at the same time needing to go when there is only one bathroom in the house, then there is a conflict. However to easily be solved, they would have to take turns. It may be an inconvenience for the one who is waiting. Nonetheless, the one who is waiting is coping. Besides, the other one who is in the bathroom may feel rushed to do his business. There are countless examples where we have to give and take, we have to take turns, we have to wait in line until we’re next. This is how it works and this is how we cope peacefully.
