To be at peace is something many of us want, but few of us achieve. We can be at peace as a nation, but not at peace as a people. After all, as Einstein wrote, “Peace is not merely the absence of war but the presence of justice, of law, of order (—in short, of government).” What do you do though when it feels like it’s your own government that’s behind some of what is preventing you from being at peace?

Because only when we’re at peace with ourselves, can we help others. Counsellors refer to the ‘oxygen mask principle’: the importance of putting your own mask on first in the plane. That only once you are OK yourself, can you help others. And to be at peace isn’t the same thing as being content with the status quo. Feeling at peace is deeper than that. Being at peace does not mean you switch off your activist radar. Just that perhaps you’re better equipped to deal with it. There’s still a struggle to be a part of, and a better world to fight for. Peacefully, of course.
