Peace is inside you

Do not let anything destroy your spirit. Not commercialism. Not poverty. Not unfulfilled desires. You are the master of how you feel at any given moment. Outside forces are always going to try to burden you with their temptations, and tell you that you don't have enough or that you aren't worth enough. 

Don't listen. If what you really want is peace, and dare I say happiness, find a home for it in your heart.

If you want to look at the world with disdain, go ahead. But always remember, it's your choice to look in the first place.

If you're focusing on the negative or what you don't have, you're going to feel negative.
