Living Peacefully in the midst of Pandemonium

Some Native American Indian tribes give a special position of peace holder to one member of their community. No matter what form of chaos or tribulation was facing the tribe, that person’s job was to remain completely undisturbed.  Being like the calm eye of a storm, such a person would influence the whole community.  The world needs many such peace holders.
