Peace of mind and compassion are more important than anything else

Peace of Mind means you are calm inside out and compassion means feeling for others. While you are reading my answer, you aren't worried about anything else. You aren't thinking of what's happening here n there. What is the relationship between both of them?When you are at your peace, you have the ability to understand another human being. While your mind is yourself at mess , you cannot think of someone else. To have empathy, you need to clear your own mind before you can say something to someone else. So yes these two coexist.

Peace of mind is achieved when you are happy with someone or something or even yourself. Say for example: you love your neighbour very much. He is your go to guy for any help. You really like Mr. X and often have good times with him (outings, shopping, etc.). Now you are happy.. one fine day, Mr. X avoided you and didn't address you like he normally would. Now your happiness is disrupted. Your peace of mind is disturbed thinking ‘what could have gone wrong?’ It keeps hitting you over and over again and finally negativity sets in. You decide to behave just like how he treated you.

A person of empathy on the other hand, could have walked towards Mr. X and cleared out his head. He could have asked him what the problem was. A person with empathy and understanding would have found out that his friend had lost his job and was occupied in his thoughts. He would have understood that his friend was going through a hard time and all he wanted was understanding and support. When he understands and puts himself in Mr.X s shoes, he has empathized with him. His friendship is intact and so is his peace of mind.

Give as many excuses for a person you love. Empathy and peace of mind go hand in hand.Clear your mind first to have empathy for others. Then you will exactly feel how others feel in their stuck situation. I think it’s probably easier to have peace of mind when you lack empathy and only have concern for yourself. It’s upsetting to worry about the concerns of others, and can be upsetting to be aware of their distress. But that’s like saying it’s easier to be color blind because you’ll have fewer distractions. After all the easiest life is to be in a really comfortable chair, have all the best food and drink served you, and never need to work. But who wants to live that way? I don’t.

Empathy and peace of mind both are connected in a same way…empathy is to understand others emotions their ecstasy , but how it will happen if peace of mind is not present..Peace of mind is must to connect with the empathy, in some ways when we are having at utmost presence of peace of mind in inner us .. we will definitely understand others situations , problems and whatever it is…Peace of mind helps you out to overcome your fear , your insecurity and many more.. and somehow you can deal with every situations.. every emotions towards your self and others too…Without peace we can't solve , we can't understand the problems of others, we can't accept others.. the way they are…

So peace of mind and empathy both are connected in a similar away but with better understanding…of thought's….Our civilization is very old and the urbanization even more common as the flow is always from rural to urban areas and most people still cherish their connection with nature. It’s more common than not to regularly walk in the forest, spend time contemplating the seasonal changes in trees and brushwood, and live connected to the cyclic rhythm of nature. Most people visit a cottage in the middle of nowhere, at least sometimes. The freedom to roam grants us the right to pick berries and other fruits irrespective of who happens to own the forest in question, and most people take advantage of it regularly. Cheers!
