In the end these things matter most:
How well did you love?
How fully did you live?
How deeply did you let go?
― Jack Kornfield, Buddha's Little Instruction Book

Peace requires us to surrender our illusions of control. We can love and care for others but we cannot possess our children, lovers, family, or friends. We can assist them, pray for them, and wish them well, yet in the end their happiness and suffering depend on their thoughts and actions, not on our wishes.
