What is true peace actually are. To determine the true peace here i want to share a lovely story. Once there was a King who was very fond of paintings.Once he offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. So many artists tried. But the the King not looked satisfied with none of the painting so more artist tried . Finally after seeing all the paintings there were only two the king really liked and he had to choose between them.
One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror of peaceful towering mountains which were all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All he saw in this painting was a perfect picture of peace. so calm and quite.
The other painting got mountains too. But those were looking so scary and above the mountains was an angry sky from which rain fell and in which lightening played. It was a perfect storm. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all.
But when the King looked beyond he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water and a heavy storm, the mother bird sat on her nest... In perfect peace. ....
Which picture do you think won the prize?
The King choose the second one thats because... "peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. Peace means to be in the middle of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace."
