Short term peace goal

A zen proverb say "If a problem has a solution, worrying is pointless, in the end, the problem will be solved. If a problem has no solution, there is no reason to worry because it can not be solved." as a college student, I often find myself stressing over the smallest things. I worry about minut things that I really have no control over. If I remind myself daily not to worry about small problems, I will a have a better day and be more peaceful.

Long term peace goal

Throughout this course, I have come across Gandhi's 7 social sins. They include: Wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, science without humanity, knowledge without power, politics without principle, commerce without morality and worship without sacrifice. I think that if I apply these to my everyday life and keep them in mind, I will ultimately have a more peaceful life. I often take advantage of the things that I have, pleasure without conscience, and it isn't good for my inner peace.
