Curious Incidents of a Flailing Mermaid

As long as people drink tea, world peace is impossible!

September 30 DBC. Day Two: Shoot some flowers out of your cannon. What does "peace" mean to you?



Right, lets be brutally honest: there will never be world peace. Ever. There you go... I shot. Not exactly flowers, but I shot.
No, seriously, it will be impossible for humanity to agree on absolutely everything. I ain't going to go into the politics of war and the like, that isn't my style. But think about it... when was the last time you agreed with every word someone else said? Never? Right, so put that on to a much much much larger scale, i.e. every person in the entire world. Ain't gonna happen!

For example: I don't agree with the concept of tea (yes, the drink). I think it is utterly pointless. But, if I put my arguments forward to a room full of 100 British builders, I would have a full on fight on my hands!

See... world peace... never gonna happen! Humanity can't even agree on hot drinks.

So many people look for/to external factors to help them find peace. At the risk of sounding all preachy and stuff, people just need to learn to be content. As I said to my friend the other day, money and nice cars does not equal peace and happiness. Everyone's happiness is different... or is it? I just think peace comes from accepting your real self and stopping trying to be someone you *think* you should be.

I used to hide the real me, tried to be what I thought others wanted. I used to hide my creativity: my writing, my arty stuff, everything, because people laughed. Chris doesn't laugh - I no longer need to hide anything at all. Therefore, my peace & happiness has increase 100 fold.

Just be you and the world will click.
