8. Once upon a time, a king offered a wonderful prize t
the artist who could paint the best picture of peace.
The first was a painting of a beautiful calm lake, with
crystal clear water, twinkling of stars, natural spectrum
at the sky surrounded by green, leafy forests and
majestic mountains towering in the background.
The other painting had mountains too, but they were
rugged and bare. Above them, was an angry sky from
which heavy rain fell and lightning danced.
The king chose the second paining as the one showing
peace. When asked why, he replied, “Peace does not
mean to be in a place where there is no noise,
discomfort, trouble or hard work. Peace means to be
in the middle of all of these things and yet, to find calm,
quiet and gentleness in your heart and to carry on with
your life, this is the real meaning of peace”
