Is peace something you find, or something you create?

Question

I’ve been alone at the park all morning with my blanket, some snacks, and no real plans… I stretched a little, relaxed, listened to the faraway sound of people laughing, birds chirping in the trees, and even had a little bumblebee land on my blanket like it stopped by to say hi.

Somehow it felt like I gave myself a small pocket of peace.

But it made me wonder… is peace something you find when you get away from everything, or something you have to create inside yourself no matter where you are?

I think it’s both. You can create peace in your mind based on what you’re thinking about. Some people believe in a higher power and think that brings them peace.

You can also find peace in places that you love. I always say that I feel at peace in nature because of how calm and connected to myself I feel.

I'm so jealous ! It's rainy and cold in my city.

I think peace is not something you simply find waiting somewhere in the world. The world is too chaotic for that. Even in beautiful places, the mind can still be restless. So maybe peace is something we create slowly, consciously. But it is not easy to create it.

You definitely have to create it when you understand you and what you need and what you want to feel good to be the person you want to be it takes a lot of quiet time to figure it out but once you do there's not too many things that can penetrate that you just become it for me anyway

I'd say it's both. Like how a bird creates its nest by finding sticks and a place to put them. You have to start by creating it usually and then maintaining it is as easy as your ability to resist something coming into the picture and screwing it up.

Something I found Something I created Something created, that I found Something found, that I created  Something found and lost and created and lost and found and resuscitated and found and lost and recreated and lost and found and lost and shut up😵‍💫

I think it’s more about what you stop doing than what you create or find.

A restless mind will never be at peace. My crux is playing billiards alone with good tunes. I've found myself spending many a night just shooting shots alone while listening to good music.

Neither.  You said it yourself, you got some space, but it can hardly be called peace.

Anonymous · Answer

Six one way, half a dozen of another. Peace is a choice. Ergo it can be found, created, or a combination of the two. At the end of the day it's just choosing to lay unnecessary burdens down.

I created a life of peaceful love.  I try to do the same for my immediate family. Such as calling and checking to care for their well beings. Ask about their days… etc.

Sometimes you can create peace, at least temporarily. I doubt that there is anything resembling a permanent peace. There is always trouble around every corner.

If you create peace inside of you, then you can take it whenever you go or no matter what you're doing.☮️

For the most part it's creation , you can find a special place , but that's not the same thing..

FreyaRed · Answer

Depends what kind of peace. Personal peace, you create and find in yourself.

Shiprex · Answer

True peace is internally but you can benefit from being surrounded by peace while working to get there.

Sometimes you found it in smallest details or at short moments sometimes you created the opportunities to make it happen but it happens spontaneously

AydenHazor · Answer

I would say it's both. You create peace in your environment intentionally. You find peace in the quiet moments in life

Peace is something you create, because it requires very little worry and everyone has their idea of peaceful
