vertues connected with tranquillity

1. Tranquillity has a relationship with love, to which it
gives and from which it takes. The loving person is tranquil
in his relationships with people. He does not react against
them, because he loves them. As for hatred, if it enters the
heart, it is like a raging volcano which never quietens, it wants
vengeance and wants to demolish. It does not subside until it
has achieved what it wants and has ruined everything else.
The world needs love and peace in order for its problems to be
solved. They can be solved by reconciliation and peace with
calmness. In the calmness of a discussion that is soaked with
love, people can come together in order to solve their problems,
however much their views differ. If calmness disappears,
however, love disappears with it, since love cannot exist
alongside confusion and disorder, sharp voices and discourteous
behaviour.
You can love the peaceful person, his calmness attracts you.
The features of his face alone make you love him. His calm
manner of dealing with things makes you love him too. If you
should get irritated with him for any reason, his tranquillity will
overcome you and avert your irritation. Thus the Lord spoke
well of the meek in heart, that they will inherit the earth by
which is meant the earth here, and heaven. They will obtain
people's love on earth because of their meekness and
peacefulness, just as they will obtain the land of the living too.
(Ps.27:13)
