The ultimate goal of human beings on earth is to live in peace, harmony and truth. When people fail to follow their true purpose there begins discord, disharmony and absence of truth.
Jesus of Nazareth lived in love, peace, truth and harmony. He never brought to himself, negative feelings, discord, disharmony or hatred. He chose to live in love, peace, joy and truth and showed the way, the truth, and life for others to follow. He understood the condition of life that one must be truthful, peaceful, loving, forgiving and giving. He even turned the other cheek, walked the extra miles and forgave the wrong doers because he always wanted to live in truth, love, peace etc. and he was true to himself in speaking the truth.
Many times we hesitate to speak the truth. We hide it and refuse to accept certain facts which may be true. Ultimate truth is that we must live together, but we neglect that principle and do as we wish.
Mahatma Gandhi was another famous personality who lived in peace (non-violence), truth and harmony. He didn't want to lose his own harmonious nature and the harmony of his country men. He encouraged people to embrace non-violence and truth.
There are men and women who have truly demonstrated examples to follow and base our life on truth, peace and love.
Love, peace, truth and forgiveness do create a harmonious environment in the individual, family, community, society, country and all over the world.
Our goals may be to become millionaires, billionaires but along with that we do have to live a life of love, peace, truth and forgiveness. When we live in truth, nothing can put us down. None can blame us. Not even a single soul will ever dare to speak against us because we live in truth, peace, love etc.
The truth is being true to oneself, one's feelings, thoughts, ideas, views, education, philosophy and so on. When we do something wrong, we fear the consequences. Because we fear the bad consequences, the peace of mind is disturbed; there is disharmony and discord which causes stress and tension. If one does wrong, he must accept it, correct it, learn the valuable lessons and must move on.
When men or women engage in extra marital affairs, they are not faithful or loyal to their spouses. Once they are unfaithful, they begin to run away from the truth, love, peace and harmony. They don't live in truth as a result there is no harmony in their relationship. There is disharmony, quarrel and lack of trust. They neglect their purpose to live in truth, peace and love. Of course, one may argue that it is human nature to go astray but truth is truth.
It is important to protect our individual peace, love, truth, harmony and joy because that is the law of nature, God or Universe. Think of the universe at large, how it exists in harmony. The same harmony can also be felt by us too, if we choose to live in love, peace, truth and joy.
