Mark 8:36 - “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”

Without a doubt, as we develop as
humans, our environment is the catalyst that sculpts us into who we will become. Whether young or old, everything around us takes its place as our influence. If we are born into riches and everlasting wealth, we will only live a life according to such. As we traverse this vast life, we find that the only thing we can do as knowledgable and sophisticated creatures placed upon this earth is adapt.

Ultimately, suffering stems from our desires. Peace is one of these desires. When you set out to “find your inner peace,” the only thing you’ll find is chaos. Peace isn’t just about fixing certain problems in your life, it’s about letting things go, and not letting things affect you. If you are in search of something that you so desperately desire, who’s to say that you actually deserve it?

“I just want someone who will love and care for me.” “I just want a promotion.” “I just want a nice car.” Think for a moment… These things hold no value unless you choose to place it upon them. You will never truly obtain something unless you lose something in the process. So I come to you today to ask you a question: are you a slave to your own desires, or are you someone who is looking for peace in a chaotic world?
