Beware of Inner Peace!

I found this sheet of paper my sister gave me when we were volunteering together. I like what it says:

Symptoms of Inner Peace

Some signs and symptoms of inner peace

Tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than from fear based on past experiences.

An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.
Loss of interest in judging other people.
Loss of interest in judging self.

Loss of interest interpreting the actions of others.
Loss of interest in conflict.

Loss of ability to worry. (This is a very serious symptom!)

Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.

Contended feelings of connectedness with others and nature.
Frequent attacks of smiling through the eyes from the heart.

Increasing tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen.

Increased susceptibility to love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.

If you have all or even most of the above symptoms, please be advised that your condition of PEACE may be so far advanced as to not be curable! If you are exposed to anyone exhibiting several of these symptoms, remain exposed only at your own risk. This condition of PEACE is probably in its infectious stage.
