“There is no such thing as inner peace,” said author, public speaker and professional disapprover, Fran Lebowitz. “There is only nervousness or death. Any attempt to prove otherwise constitutes unacceptable behaviour.”
At first, I thought this was a joke. But she has point if you think about it — absolute, undisrupted, inner peace is a sham (sorry). Yes, we can strive for it. Sometimes even achieve it occasionally. However, an ever-constant feeling it is not. Struggling with depressions and doubts and other miscellaneous dooms from time to time, whether or not you choose to share your pain with others, is an inevitability of life. A proof of life, if you will.
