“I need to fight myself first”

Why? It confuses me. Why do people fight with themselves? Can’t there be some peace? Why is everyone at war? I was at war once. I did fight myself too. But, war never puts insecurities at peace.

Peace puts all the fears at peace. The moment is to be lived. Not be fought against or for. When the sand castle becomes sand, just fold your arms and look at how it loses itself. The crumpling structure will give you peace. Why do we try to save the sand castle? The waves will wash it away in the end. Let it become sand. Don’t fight. Don’t restrain the sand in the form of a castle. Set it free. Set every grain of the sand free.

Your sand castle has to undergo a metamorphosis. Let it happen peacefully. The sand grains will otherwise have to fight for their liberation. Instead, you liberate them, before they decide to break free. Detachment doesn’t come easy. But detach you must.

The fight arises because you refuse to float in the stream of life. Then the strong water current will wash you away. Either you suffocate, gasp, and try to build a dam to lock the water or let it become a Niagara Fall for you.

A Fight never has a possibility of victory. It is forceful and violent. There is a fight, because your mind has grown.. But, we are too scared to accept it. Don’t pin your mind down. Please don’t fight.. Make peace instead. Peace is a difficult emotion. But once you conceive it… the fight will end forever..
