Yeah, Master Shifu's mantra is stuck in my head like a severe case of last song syndrome.But unlike him and Po, I have yet to achieve this -- if at all it's remotely possible in my lifetime.
With questions about the past that I still have (most with no hope of resolution), the things I ought to do, nature's wrath, and the very society we live in, achieving inner peace would probably be as hard as getting my lifelong dream of six-pack abs nyahaha.
Every now and then, however, something or someone comes along that makes it possible, bringing me a tad closer to that inner peace.
And for you all, I am forever grateful. ^^

For the past four months since I took an alternate route on my way to work, I've been seeing the man exactly the way he is everyday: unkempt, dressed in dirty clothes, and constantly wearing an angry -- almost mad -- look on his face.I've watched him wipe windshields during the red light, all the while muttering menacingly at no one in particular.
Last week he finally chanced upon me, and proceeded with his routine -- including the usual glaring eyes and angry snarl.
I rolled down the window, handed him the coins I found on the dashboard, and finally saw something different.
It was a peaceful face.
