Joy vs Peace

Joy is fleeting. Peace is transformational.

Joy is an enticing emotional state. But it is difficult to maintain.

Joy is like the occasional clap of thunder. Peace is the sound of moving clouds.

The man who is crazed with joy by a favorable result will be the very same one who drowns in despair with an unfavorable one.

In all things seek peace.

When life does not go your way, accept it for what it is, its fickle nature, and be at peace.

Knowing that you can find peace in any situation will lead to equanimity. You will do well to understand, that the equanimous man is often the most powerful one in the world.
