Quest for Inner Peace

I guess this can kind of dovetail into my "getting back on track" post from last night. This is a retooling of something I said to a friend the other day.

-----
the quest for inner peace is sort of like christianity i think
they give jesus as the savior
knowing none can every really die and come back like that
or live in the way the bible describes
but we are told to try
knowing achievement is not possible
and we are told it is important to be comfortable with ones self
and love the skin we are in
and who we are
and not feel ashamed
no matter how hard we try it cant be achieved
even the most well adjusted people hate themselves sometimes
i am not perfect
neither are you
none of us are
(friend comments: I think I love my neighbor over myself")
but...loving ones self is a more important quest
because you can walk away from the neighbor
divorce the spouse
disown the child
but it is your skin you have to live in
24 hours a day
until you die
so yeah...
there
i don't know how to go on, i guess that was all
(friend comments: that was pretty good)
