Incredible India monthly contest of September #2| Inner peace or outer Joy

Have you experienced the type of joy based on physical things or are you the type of person who is mentally stable while having peace? These are two categories of people which can be differentiated from the other or merged into one. Whatever the case may be, let's get to explore the world of outer joy and inner peace.

Before getting to my preference between these states of mind, I'd love to define them in simple terms. Outer joy is the state of mind where a person shows excitement due to a physical activity like winning a prize. On the other hand, inner peace is the state of mind where an individual is contented and is not easily shaken by external factors. Coming back to the question, I'll always choose Inner peace. Anyone who noticed my choice will see the quick difference. In the world currently, there may be many ways to attain outer joy but inner peace is a treasure indeed.

I truly believe that anyone can attain outer joy but not with inner peace. To give my perspective about this question, permit me to give in this illustration. A depressed man was seen by a kind individual. The individual seeing this depressed man thought of a way to make him happy. He moves forward and handed a bundle of money to him. The person may smile and thank him but the inner pain might still persists. So, we see that outer joy can be seen but inner peace can't be bought. It requires time and other resources to bring it to reality.

Taking about the lessons culled from both terms, I'd like to summarize everything in few words. Outer joy is based on the happiness on the outside which signifys that we should enjoy the moment. In every moment we see in our life, we should make it as a thing to remember. In the case of inner peace, the lesson culled from it is that we shouldn't be distracted by the confusion of the world so as to maintain our peace within.

I invite @bossj23, @alexanderpeace and @pandora2010 to this contest.
