Integrity and Tolerance

Peace is not a dilllusionary idea. It is found in the quite between words exchanged and ideas that may differ. Here in the realm of self mastery, we find that living from a place of integrity does not neccesarily mean that you are excluded from challeges. Not in the least bit. It just means that when you/I are faced with delimmas, we sit with oneself and ponder; what is the real reason for the challenge? What lesson does this bring me? And what is the orginating goal? And when we speak of tolerance, we are speaking to the ego and saying to it; we appreciate the good that it brings. However in order for true peace to happen, the ego must be tammed/mastered. This is a great challenge for the human race, but the possibilities are far more enchanting than they are in any way disenchanting.
