Peace, Fear and Faith

There is an element of peace in innocence and ignorance. When they are lost, true peace must be found from a true source and cannot be fabricated artificially. I believe I know where peace comes from. I have found it when portions of innocence and ignorance have been lost, but it is a struggle and a fight to retain it. What shall we do when our innocence is fully gone and we see the dark evil of the world beyond the facade? Truly many men's hearts will fail them. Then, broken, we must find the source of peace. We must find it, or be lost. We are taught that fear is the absence of faith. The two cannot coexist. One will defeat the other. I do not want to be afraid. Therefore I must build my faith to withstand the impending storm. I pray for Heaven's blessing as I try. For the clouds are looming, and I can hear the roll of thunder.
