The search for peace can be elusive from "summary" of The Fact of a Body by Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich
The search for peace can be elusive. It is a relentless pursuit, a constant journey with no clear destination in sight. As I delved into the depths of the past, I found myself confronted with the harsh reality that peace may never truly be attainable. The more I uncovered, the more I realized that peace was not a tangible object that could be grasped and held onto. It was a fleeting moment, a transient feeling that slipped through my fingers like sand. In the midst of my search, I came face to face with the raw and unfiltered truth of human nature. The darkness that lurked within each of us, the capacity for violence and cruelty that we all possessed. It was a sobering realization, one that shook me to my core. How could peace ever be achievable when such darkness existed in the world? How could we ever find solace when surrounded by such chaos and destruction? I grappled with these questions as I navigated through the intricacies of the past. Each revelation brought me closer to the edge of despair, pushing me further away from the tranquility I sought. It was a vicious cycle, a never-ending loop of pain and suffering that seemed impossible to break free from. And yet, in the midst of all the turmoil and uncertainty, I found moments of clarity and understanding. I realized that perhaps peace was not something to be found, but rather something to be cultivated from within. It was a state of mind, a way of being that required introspection and self-awareness. As I reflected on my journey, I came to the realization that peace was not an external force that could be sought out and captured. It was an internal state of being that required patience, acceptance, and forgiveness. It was a delicate balance that had to be constantly maintained, a fragile equilibrium that could easily be disrupted.- I continued on my search for peace, knowing that it would never be an easy or straightforward path. But I also knew that it was a journey worth embarking on, a quest that would ultimately lead me to a place of serenity and contentment. And in that realization, I found a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness, a beacon of light guiding me towards a brighter tomorrow.
