We all can find temporary inner peace but finding substainable inner peace is not easy for most people. This is because we often depend on our surroundings to be peaceful in order to feel at peace. Well, situations are not always such.
The key to inner peace comes in the understanding that our own anger causes us more problems then all those little day to day irriations can cause, more problems then what others cause us. Our own anger... which we can control via self awareness if we are so willing to do so.
You might say "I don't hate anyone"... if so then you are always at peace. Now anger has different names - getting mad, resentment, being upset with someone, irratated, stressed, hatred, etc. But it is still anger. Judgement not discernment.
Each time we react with anger (by any name) we create negative energy in our self, and that energy must find expression. Punching a bag or some other forms of anger management is not enough to release all the energy building up which energy must destroy or kill to be satisfied, which is of course is unlawful action.
If we do not express that energy outwardly then it finds expression inwardly somehow in a destructive way - effecting our health or making our mind into "hell on earth". If we express it outwardly then we become just like the mean person or thing we got mad at, there-by spreading the destructive energy to others we meet.
This consumes the world with wars and and domestic violence.
We need to try to break the chain of negative energy by not responding to all the things that upset us through out the day... by learning to overlook all the things people might do to upset us. To look ahead for each chance to pratice the art of "overlooking" the unkind things people do, in the moment it happens and not just as hind-site. Instead of thinking "you dirty rat" think instead "how can I help that person".
Then, because you are calm the wisdom will come to you about how to deal with the situation or the person confronting you, such that you help the other person and save your own butt in the process.
Sometimes anger can turn into fear or insecurity because we might fear what we would do if we acted upon our thoughts of rage, that we would become the "monster".
To stay calm and to overlook and make allowences if people are rude or unkind - of if they cut you off in traffic and so forth will greatly reduce the stress level of negative energy within you.
If you meditate on that goal each morning, at noon, and in the evening then that will help you to keep the plan foremost in your mind as you go about the business of the day.
For ages wise men have been trying to relate this message to humanity... not something I personally dreamed up - just passing on the data to those who might be interested in trying it.
It takes time and practice of course.
I did not edit the spelling in this post so take it "as is".
