A joke goes this way: 'There is this guy, he is standing on the side of the street and he is watching these two other guys. And what they are doing he just can't believe. One is digging a hole and the other one is filling the hole right behind him, and they keep going down the street, one is digging the hole and the other one is filling the hole. And after a while the guy could not just stand it any more, so he went over to them and said, 'What are you doing? I mean I have been watching you for such a long time; you keep digging the hole and this guy behind you keeps filling the hole.' And he said, 'Yeah, I understand it looks really odd, but the fact of the matter is, we are a team of three, and I dig the hole, and there is another guy he plants the tree and this other guy fills the hole. But today the guy who plants the tree called in sick. So we are just continuing without him.' So why did I tell you that joke? Because there is a quintessential element, and if that element is not present, then whatever we are doing in our lives, can be a bit like that joke. And that quintessential element is Peace.
