Is peace of mind a practical thing in todays society, are people able to maintain this state?

Yes. What seems impractical to me is to constantly worry about things over which one has absolutely no control. One way I maintain peace of mind is by realizing and accepting that there are things I simply cannot control.

Peace of mind... i think people feel that after saying 'I'm sorry", and hearing the "its ok, dont worry about it" phases, then is when u feel that everything will be alright, and that u dont have to carry a burden of guilt...
but, i dont think people can stay in state of peace of mind during a long period, or at least, not inside society, maybe if they get away, and live peaceful lives or something like that, but...at least in the cities it would be really hard...

Not really, nowadays everybody is caught up with everything in this world. they do not stop to rest at all. Not much people ever stop to think about themselves at the young age. Only elderly people do, I think if we all actually stop and think for ourselves and reflect there past, there will be some peace of mind. For me, I am a buddhist and I follow its teachings, I sort of find it easier to find that peace of mind whenever I want.

Yes, only if they were totally out of debt, their home and vehicles were paid for, and we had another person in the White House who didn't favor starting wars when they have no business doing so.

Yes, if you really have faith in HIM. No matter what your religion, what is important is that you HAVE FAITH.
The world is too materialistic nowadays. People seems not to be contented with what they have. However, if you are contented with simple living everything will be fine. Sometimes we compain too much and work too hard! We want this and we want that. We didnt realize that we had received so much blessings that sometimes some people dont know how to be grateful!

if you can turn off your every day thought process,thats
thinking in the word plane.than tune in to the spirit of creation
in you. than you can" ask and recieve"
" knock and it will be opened "
these are keys in meditation... only if you believe in the creator
will they work.cause if you don`t have that connection then you
can`t be plugged in. you either IS or you AIN`T.......
there are millions of people there, working on it...

Yes, you can start by clearing out all things that give you problems including a job, and refuse to become of anyone else's problems. Use your own brain instead of someone else's. Learn to Pray!

Do you mean peace of mind WHILE you're living?
