Peace Mind Minutes

More From Alanis Morissette

Would a minute have mattered? no, probably not, although his young son appeared to have a very accurate internal clock. possibly even 2 minutes would be okay. three minutes, even. you could go to five minutes, perhaps. but that was just it. if you could go for five minutes, then you'd go to ten, then half an hour, a couple of hours...and not see your son all evening. so that was that. six o'clock, prompt. every day. read to young sam. no excuses. he'd promised himself that. no excuses. no excuses at all. once you had a good excuse, you opened the door to bad excuses.

We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. on one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. on the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.

For young players, their minds are not overloaded. i am 54 with four kids and i do many other things. even if i stopped everything else, spent months working just on chess, for a long match against most of the top players, a classical match, six hours, say, i don't stand a chance. i have a better chance in shorter matches. rapid is 25 minutes, or blitz events where you have five minutes to make a move, or bullet games, where it is one minute. for blitz, five-minutes chess, i would be top ten, top five. but longer games, no chance.

Success is how you collect your minutes. you spend millions of minutes to reach one triumph, one moment, then you spend maybe a thousand minutes enjoying it. if you were unhappy through those millions of minutes, what good is the thousand minutes of triumph? it doesn't equate... life is made of small pleasures. good eye contact over the breakfast table with your wife. a moment of touching a friend. happiness is made of those tiny successes. the big ones come too infrequently. if you don't have all those zillions of tiny successes, the big ones don't mean anything.

It just was a gradual development over the years. i mean last year was 'all you need is love.' this year, it's 'all you need is love and peace, baby.' give peace a chance, and remember love. the only hope for us is peace. violence begets violence. you can have peace as soon as you like if we all pull together. you're all geniuses, and you're all beautiful. you don't need anyone to tell you who you are. you are what you are. get out there and get peace, think peace, and live peace and breathe peace, and you'll get it as soon as you like.

Perhaps peace is not, after all, something you work for, or 'fight for.' it is indeed 'fighting for peace' that starts all the wars. what, after all, are the pretexts of all these cold war crises, but 'fighting for peace?' peace is something you have or do not have. if you are yourself at peace, then there is at least some peace in the world. then share your peace with everyone, and everyone will be at peace.

This does not mean that you are warmongers. on the contrary, the soldier above all other people prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war. but always in our ears ring the ominous words of plato, that wisest of all philosophers: "only the dead have seen the end of war.

I don't do a television show for awards. you make it so people will enjoy watching it.

I remember being fascinated by the graduated sizes and perspective on the sets [of star wars]. and how they put shorter people and kids in the uniforms and placed them in the distance to give the idea that these sets had more depth than they really did.
