Peace, serenity, and equanimity... I think every human is searching for that. That search is what causes us to become alcoholics or addicts in the first place. We search everywhere externally for it, without realizing it's been right inside of us the entire time.
It reminds me of a story either from Eckhart Tolle or a zen master or somebody like that--a man spent his entire life searching for gold. He was sitting on a box. The gold was inside the box. It never occurred to him to look INSIDE.
