Peace isn’t having zero problems. It’s not giving every problem a microphone.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

A calm life is not one with fewer difficulties, it is one where difficulties are kept to their actual size. Everything grows if you let it speak: the small annoyance retold four times, the minor worry given a whole evening. Most of what wrecks a week was never big, it was just loud.

Pick one problem you have been broadcasting and stop discussing it for a week. Deal with it quietly or let it be, but take away the platform. Notice how much smaller it gets when it stops being the topic.
