Peace Pavilion

The part one and part two of this article have been previously published. I encourage you to read them. The benefits! In the previous post, we see a clear distinction between physical silence and silence in the mind. In this concluding part, we will be exploring few benefits of keeping an undisturbed mind. With a still and peaceful mind, it is easier for us to quit ruminating bitterly over the past and forge ahead with great strength and renewed mindset. Overthinking is the biggest cause of our unhappiness. We seem to forget that we can't solve any problem by worrying. Relax your mind. No matter what the failure is, be it job loss, a failed marriage, broken relationship, delayed academic admission, false accusations against you, a long time addiction, broken home, financial instability, or rejection, whatsoever! do not let your heart be troubled. Get up, pick your lessons and move on with joy and peace in your heart. Worries should not be allow...

Welcome! Did you read the part one of this post? If no, please do.  Is quietness of mind and physical silence the same in nature?  No! Not exactly. They are two different things It is important to establish here that there is a slight difference between silence on the lips (muteness) and silence in the mind (quietness). Quietness of mind is that stillness you feel in your heart even when everything seems to be going wrong and it is quiet deeper than just shutting the mouth. Its beauty and power lie more in the ability to guard the heart from anxiety and worries. Muteness is always expressed externally while quietness can be expressed both within and without. When your mind is quiet and unruffled, your lips are either shut or they speak with wisdom if need be. Muteness on the other hand does not take care of the situation of the mind. You can be silent on the outside and still be troubled within. Imagine being in a fight with someone and you...

Wendy is seen shouting on Maureen with so much aggression. "Maureen, this is about the third time I would be warning you about how you spend lavishly. You are an impulse spender and if you do not stop this habit, you may end up in financial mess. I love you and I hate to see you in any kind of problem".  "Wendy, it is not your life but mine. Let me live it the way I want! Allow me to spend my money in peace, I can't be stingy to myself. Don't talk to me anyhow just because you are my elder sister. Mind your business, henceforth", Maureen lashed back.  In a world where mistake is inevitable for every human being, mutual support is needed in order to save ourselves from wrong choices and decisions. No individual can be all-knowing and as such, we all need advice from one another to live a successful life. Meanwhile, being wise enough to give advice to others is not a function of age but a function of experience. Irrespective of age, we are all expecte...

Back up Story; Dylan and Joyce had a misunderstanding in the class yesterday and Dylan is currently going through a tough time emotionally due to how Joyce treated him mercilessly. In short, he is very depressed.  What happened? Let us find out. Dylan borrowed a lecture note from Joyce to complete his. Meanwhile, there was supposed to be a test the next day so he promised to return it soon so that Joyce could revise for the assessment.  On getting to his hostel, Dylan got a terrifying call from his mother. He was told his father had been sick and has been moved to the hospital. He got disturbed and confused for few seconds. He eventually picked up his bag and dashed out of his room.  After some hours spent in transit, he got to the hospital tired and worn-out. He located his mother. Dylan could not stand the sight of his sick father who was in coma. He had to stay in the hospital throughout the day running errands to get nec...
