Peace Amidst Chaos

I don’t normally watch the news on TV since I do not own one. I read the paper and listen to the radio just enough to have some idea of what is going on. In the place I am staying the news is frequently on the TV and the other news outlets are much more pronounced than I am used to. Consequently, I am much more aware of the chaos, anxiety and mindless violence in the world today. I feel a great peace inside, knowing that in an eternal sense everything is moving along just fine and that the chaos, anxiety and mindless violence are all transient, not meaningless but also not terribly important.
