Happiness and peace..do you think both are complimentary? sometimes it seems when happiness comes peace vanishes away.we see in most of the cases in common people family life, when luxurious life come or happiness comes , mental peace goes away.In some case, Wealth violates the peace in life.
What do you think?..Do you agree? if yes..why? if not ..why?

Everyone wants to be happy. They don't always think of peace first. They want to be happy and then may think of peace. Wealth violate a lot of things in life. People don't seem to think of others when they have alot of money especially there children. They think can buy them everything and things will be fine. What you say is true also. Why do things have to be that way? Life has to be so complicated at times.

I can apprehand what you want to express. I think you are in dillema to decide which one is preferable to acheive first. Yes,money and wealth are like oxygen in our life but heart is our such asset and part and parcel of our body which is comparable to"peace" without which your money and wealth are useless like without our heart money and wealth are useless.Infact though it seems the preference to chose between peace and happyness is vice versa..but the more inclination should be toward peace in life rather than happiness in material world to make our life a success and meaningful.

i go to peace first..because i think if you dont have peace of mind you cannot really be happy, right? you can make yourself happy even you dont have peace of mind, i mean you dont have real happiness because you dont have peace in your heart and mind..

You seem to be more realistic. I do agree with your thoughts as without peace of mind nobody will be contended with him/herself. If you are not satisfied with your lil acheivement how will you enjoy your big one?

i believe happiness and peace coexist, like bacon and eggs. if you're happy, it follows that you are at peace with the world and with yourself. if you're at peace with everything around you, you exude a positive disposition. so, whether i happiness or peace first, it wouldn't matter at all because i'd eventually get them both, anyway.
