Future Generations Need Us Free

It's so human. We look "out there" towards others for confirmation and validation. Am I real? Do I matter? Are my contributions meaningful? When our internal worlds are hostile, we're forced to accept external incivility. No place feels safe when our minds are chaotic. No person feels soft when our hearts are rocky. What we see "out here" is the manifestation of billions of internal wars. 
All happening at once. 
Intra-conflicts. 
Inter-con​se​quen​tial.

...

What if there were billions of people at peace with themselves?

Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called children of God. 

Peace with self is a worthy pursuit even when the significance is not recognized or lauded.
