"find your happy place"

This is in response to this article.

People seem to be so anxious to find a peaceful getaway. Here, they are willing to find happiness in sweeping floors and doing other self-satisfying service. But the major problem here is that they are doing all of these things to make themselves happy. They're not sweeping the floor to help someone else; they're doing it to relieve stress. Such "zen" can only be temporary.

It seems that people try so hard to find something they're missing when it's right there breathing in their face. No need to go to upstate New York and try the newest trend to find peace. Peace has been around for an eternity. This new wave of "zen" and "karma" is just common wisdom of the day that is sure to fade. It's almost a type of consumerism, and it seems that there are many willing buyers out there who so desperately need to buy their peace in the latest book or yoga lesson. It will come and go, take different forms, but it will never be the everlasting peace.

I think this sums it up:

One need not look so far to find peace. It's much closer than you think.
