My Favorite Word

Considering every possible word I could choose, without a doubt, peace is my favorite word. For me, peace is not only an efficient, pleasant sounding word, it is the end game, the very purpose of our lives. Peace is the condition and experience we seek most in every situation, circumstance, and relationship in our lives.

As we go about the activity of making choices in our lives, we are not really choosing the thing itself. Rather, we are choosing it because of what we believe it will bring us. Ultimately what we believe it will bring us peace. It is the condition and experience of peace we most deeply desire, not the “form’ of the thing that symbolically represents our gateway to peace.
