With all due respect,I have to disagree with u_day here. Peace is possible and it is possible through some practical steps that we have to take in order to achieve it..We are reflection of our minds.If we let peace prevail in our minds we will experience peace wherever we go.All the wars of the worlds are the result of skepticism that we build in our ourselves about the possibility of that peaceful state. Back to the question Mr. Lonely has put forward, Name, fame, money, power, love life they are all temporary.The joy you derive from these possession are temporary as well.They look good for feel-good experience but in reality they are more harmful than the feeling that you experience in their absence. What is though near impossible is our passion for name,fame,money,power,a perfect relationship.Who wouldn't want to be rich,famous,all powerful and date miss universe at the same time.But even under this scenario one would not discover real happiness.Armed with all the possibilities life can offer one becomes a victim of ego-state menatlity.That ego then becomes the greatest obstacle in achiving happiness. We have already shut the doors of real personal satisfaction once we become a slave to these cravings. Mr.Lonely don't feel discontent about not having all that you have mentioned.Enjoy lif eto the fullest in their absance.You have achieved happiness then.And don't get lonely.How can you be when there are six billion out there?:-)
