Individuals have failed to achieve inner peace in their own lives. Thus, they now extend their unrest to the outer shell called society. The value system is being eroded, and we blame our Leaders and Government for everything without any remorse as to where we have failed as Individuals,
Families and Communities.
Inner peace is gradually declining in our lives as we fail to connect with the ultimate source of life. The worst part of it: those who still dine with Idols, have no hands to save and ears to listen when we meditate. Inner peace is gradually eluding man driving him into a realm of insanity where he brings down structures in a minute, which took decades to plan and build. The lack of inner peace has destroyed Individuals and families who now become a menace to the society. Inner peace is now a scarce commodity causing a surge in the price of other valuable items like National security.

We cannot claim to have made progress when we cannot live amicably with our brother, sister and next-door A man who holds the gun to your head pulling that trigger is fighting with unrest and has also caused unrest in another Man's life. We can run from one country to another in search of peace, but until you do the right things, peace would surely develop legs running miles away from you. The civil society, business, government and churches have work to do as we all strive to attain individual peace. The power of peace cannot be undermined in an era of grace. Today, where are you in terms of achieving inner peace.
