Oh Freddie. You'll never get the peace you want from other people, it can only be found within yourself.

Oh Freddie. You'll never get the peace you want from other people, it can only be found within yourself.
- ogogmad 5y agoUnless he's being harassed. Then there can't be inner peace.
- treebot 5y agoThat's quite a pessimistic outlook. You can find inner peace even though you're being harassed.
- irishloop 5y agoI don't know, if you hear about the accounts of the parents of children killed in Sandy Hook, I don't think inner peace was available. Many had to move or go into hiding. Imagine, after losing a child in such a horrific way, that you also need to somehow start an entirely new life in a strange place because strangers think you're a crisis actor and threaten your life. Externalities matter.
- dahfizz 5y agoNobody is arguing that externalities don't matter. You have to respond to events that happen in your life. Inner peace is whether those families can come to terms with what happened and be happy, or whether they will live in emotional turmoil forever.
- KittenInABox 5y agoI think it's extremely hard to come to terms with what happened and be happy, if what happened (or rather, what is happening) is "I'm currently being chased out of my own home because people online want me dead because my child was gunned down in a domestic terrorist attack".
- lazyasciiart 5y agoYou'd think so, but some of the autobiographies of Holocaust survivors appear to show that it's possible.

- dahfizz 5y agoInner peace can exist regardless of your circumstances. That's why its called "inner" peace.
- unreal37 5y agoPeople emailing any potential employer he has demanding that he be fired seems to be breaking his peace...
- zepto 5y agoI agree, but so what? He makes some very valid points.
