As usual, to me your post is contradictory stuff.
I have read often about your "inner peace". It is something dependent on a woman, dependent on religious faith in certain ideas, dependent on material comforts, etc. A peace that is dependent is not inner peace. This foundation is very fragile.
Faith in certain ideas cannot bring inner peace because ideas themselves are fragile. When human beings get old & fragile, their minds also get old & fragile.
Thus many who rely on religious faith, experience confusion & fear when they are dying because they spent their lives believing in an "idea" rather than believing in a way that taught their mind to 'let go'.
In spirituality there is a phrase: "Dying before dying". True inner peace can only come from dying before dying.
So why do I say your post is contradictory?
Because you talk about tomorrow's children are facing more problems. This shows your inner peace is dependent on outer things.
The method to inner peace is the same today as it was hundreds of years ago and as it will be in hundreds of years from now.
But your inner peace sounds like the satisfaction of one who has just eaten a good meal. Nice car, nice home, nice wife, nice bank account, nice materilistic egoistic religios belief about your personal saviour,etc.
This is a long way from inner peace, to take dependence on and refuge in fragile & shakey things that are subject to birth, illness, aging & death.
It is best to find a foundation built on rock rather than one built on sand. This foundation & refuge is called "dying before dying".
