Cuando la paz nace en ti/ When peace is born in you (ES-EN)

Greetings, my dear ones, the Holos&Lotus Community always brings to our attention essential topics for personal and social growth.

This time, the topic proposed also influences the growth of the entire world, because only through peace can the dignified life we ​​all deserve and need prosper.

To fix the world, we must first begin working on ourselves, and I would like to learn from what you have to share on this subject, @mariatd and @marpasifico

Although I value peace greatly, I was often involved in conflicts, especially in my younger years. I would take up arms against any injustice, abuse, or wrongdoing. I simply couldn't let it go without confronting it, without trying to make amends and help its victims. My maternal grandmother called me "little garbage can candle" because it was so easy to make me explode in anger, but once the conflict was resolved, it would pass immediately and I didn't even hold a grudge.

---

---

Over time, I've learned to control those outbursts that might seem very commendable since they served worthy causes, but I realized there are other ways of doing things, that anger is hardly a safe path or bridge to navigate. It's a time bomb that usually explodes in the hands of those who refuse to let go of it.

A little over a year ago, I quit a fairly well-paying job that robbed me of my peace in a thousand ways. Anxiety suffocated me, my nerves were constantly on edge, and my family back home was paying half the price for those "broken dishes," even though I made a conscious effort to avoid it.

---

---

Thank God, I was able to retreat to the privacy of my home. Ecency provided me with a financial foothold that, although modest for the moment, allows me to create, feed off valuable content, and interact with incredible people. I can work at my own pace, with topics that interest me and that I enjoy sharing, and all of this has turned my life around for the better.

I had discovered peace within my home. I don't like to leave the house, I rarely choose to socialize if I can avoid it, I enjoy my time alone, my space, and my routine. My peace.

---

---

However, even this personal refuge has been reached by conflicts. It's not even worth listing them. Suffice it to say that, at least in my country, people have not learned to live in society with the respect and empathy that this entails.

At first, I confronted them, as usual. It irritated me to think that even in the refuge of my home I couldn't find the peace I so long for. Then I realized that I can't seek outside what must come from within. I tried hard to apply what I called "the law of love." When faced with each conflict, I discard my first reaction (which is still to take up arms) and stop for a second to think: "If I loved that person, how would I act?" I assure you that most of the time I manage to resolve the problem without any disagreements or major problems, which allows me to maintain my peace.

---

---

It also happens, unfortunately, that, as a neighbor says, "there are people for everything, and there are too many people." So even if we try to be sensible and kind, there's no guarantee that other people will reciprocate our good vibes. That's when it comes to setting clear boundaries, firmly but still without losing our temper. Above all, breathe in peace because other people's storms don't have to capsize my boat.

---

---

I've learned to weather my storms, remembering that true peace isn't found in the absence of conflict, but in being able to maintain self-control and the peace of mind that comes from the satisfaction of having done the right thing.

I embrace you in complete peace.

Saludos, mis queridos, la Comunidad de Holos&Lotus siempre pone en nuestros conscientes temas imprescindibles para el crecimiento personal y social.

Esta vez el tema que se nos propone condiciona, además, el crecimiento del mundo entero porque solo desde la paz puede prosperar la vida digna que todos merecemos y necesitamos.

Para arreglar el mundo primero debemos comenzar a trabajar en nosotros mismos, y me gustaría aprender de lo que tengan para compartir al respecto @mariatd y @marpasifico

Aunque valoro mucho la paz a menudo me vi envuelta en conflictos, sobre todo en épocas más jóvenes. Me levantaba en armas contra cualquier injusticia, abuso o despropósito. Sencillamente no podía dejarlo pasar sin hacerle frente, sin intentar enmendarlo y ayudar a sus víctimas. Mi abuela materna me llamaba "candelita de basurero" porque era muy fácil hacerme estallar en ira, pero luego de resuelto el conflicto se me pasaba de inmediato y ni siquiera guardaba rencor.

---

---

Con el tiempo he aprendido a controlar esos arrebatos que podrían parecer muy loables ya que servían a causas nobles, pero entendí que hay otras maneras de hacer las cosas, que la ira difícilmente sea un camino o un puente para transitar seguros. Es una bomba de tiempo que suele explotar en las manos de quien se niega a soltarla.

Hace poco más de un año renuncié a un empleo bastante bien pagado pero que me robaba la paz de mil maneras. La ansiedad me ahogaba, tenía los nervios de punta todo el tiempo y mi familia en casa pagaba la mitad de esos "platos rotos" incluso cuando me esforzaba conscientemente por evitarlo.

---

---

Gracias a Dios pude retirarme a la intimidad de mi hogar. Ecency me proporcionó un asidero económico que, aunque modesto por el momento, me permite crear, nutrirme de contenido valioso e interactuar con personas increíbles. Puedo trabajar a mi ritmo, con temas que son de mi interés, que disfruto compartir, y todo ello ha dado un vuelco favorable a mi vida.

Había descubierto la paz en el seno de mi hogar. No me gusta salir de casa, difícilmente elijo socializar si puedo evitarlo, disfruto mi tiempo a solas, mi espacio y mi rutina. Mi paz.

Sin embargo hasta este refugio personal han venido a alcanzarme los conflictos. Ni siquiera vale la pena enumerarlos. Baste decir que, al menos en mi país, las personas no hemos aprendido a vivir en sociedad con el respeto y la empatía que esto conlleva.

Al principio les hice frente, como de costumbre, me irritaba pensar que ni siquiera en el refugio de mi hogar pudiera conseguir la paz que tanto anhelo. Entonces me di cuenta de que no puedo buscar fuera lo que debe venir desde adentro.

---

---

Me esforcé por aplicar lo que di en llamar "la ley del amor", ante cada conflicto desecho mi primera reacción (que sigue siendo la de tomar armas) y me detengo un segundo a pensar: "Si yo amara a esa persona, ¿cómo actuaría?" Les aseguro que las más de las veces consigo resolver el problema sin que medien disgustos, ni problemas mayores, lo que me permite conservar mi paz.

También sucede, lamentablemente, que como dice una vecina "hay gente para todo, y sobra gente" así que aunque nos esforcemos por ser sensatos y amables nada garantiza que el resto de personas correspondan a nuestra buena vibra. Ahí toca plantear límites claros, con firmeza pero aún así sin perder los estribos. Sobre todo respirar en paz porque las tormentas ajenas no tienen por qué voltear mi barca.

---

---

He aprendido a capear mis temporales, recordando que la verdadera paz no está en la ausencia de conflictos, sino en ser capaces de mantener el dominio propio y la tranquilidad de espíritu que da la satisfacción de haber hecho lo correcto.

Los abrazo en completa paz.
