Re: Serenity
Some good posts here
I'm not really sure what serenity is or if I've achieved it...not having any worries or issues sounds a bit boring to me. I like overcoming the latest problem or tackling a difficult task...but maybe that's my serenity...lol...just ignore this post it makes no sense

Re: Serenity
Thinking about this , I don't think permanent serenity is possible really , over the years I've read many self help books on life and practised meditation , etc , I wish I could be a serene calm person but life is very difficult and fearful at times .If you think about monks and nuns who leave normal life and move into community's together they sit in prayer many times a day or chanting , but it seems peace and serenity can be achieved but only in constant prayer , meditation and opting out of attachment . In Thailand for example the monks and nuns depend on others to feed them and the people do so in the hope the religious one will pray for them , but the religious one has opted out of everyday life haven't they so they have no responsibilities or worries . Sorry I'm rambling , think the only way for me to achieve it is to move into a community and become a nun , or sit and cuddle my granchildren all day !

Re: Serenity
I'm quite a calm person by nature so I do find that I can achieve an inner peace and even solace quite quickly.Mind you some of the pupils at school can test my patience at times!!
It takes a lot and a long time for anything or anyone to rile me enough to blow..
But when I do...my eyes flash.. there's a red mist descending and that devil in Tazmania has nothing on my strop

It's worries/stress that's always kept me going, even tho I didn't necessarily like it at the time.
I've always been a quick to rise bad tempered bugga that thrived on stress. Now life is too much laid back. I feel sluggish.
Anyone fancy a row?

If serenity isn't funny you can keep it.
