The hidden problem

All the evil that we see in the world, the problems that anger us and make us sad, come from the inside of people. 
When you watch the news and see a story about somebody who got murdered, or a politician who committed adultery, or about unemployment, or any other problem or crisis, what you’re really seeing is the product of what is inside people.

An angry person committed that murder; a lustful politician with a big ego committed that adultery; greedy businesspeople in bed with a self-serving government that couldn’t care less about the poor are just some reasons behind that high unemployment rate. So, what you really see physically happening, is only the fruit of what happens inside of people.

Things don’t hurt people. Inanimate objects can’t do anything by themselves. Nor can dead people. So we have to conclude that our problems are caused by what we have inside of us.

Which brings me to your situation. The problems you have right now originate inside you. Things like grief, anger, unforgiveness, guilt, depression, lack of motivation, indifference, frustration, a temptation to give up — and a whole list of emotional, mental, and spiritual problems are what’s really driving the other problems around you.

And if that is the case, then the solution to your visible problems lies in solving the inner, invisible problems.

There is a cure for them. You can be healed of all these internal wounds. But you need to start seeking the healing for these inner problems. Internal sickness requires internal healing.

Or put another way: If you want inner peace, you have to win the inner war.

Have you been fighting your inner war? Have you been winning it?
