The Latin word serenĭtas came to our language as serenity . It is the characteristic of that or that which is or is serene . This term (serene), for its part, can be used as an adjective to describe someone who is calm, relaxed or rested .

Serenity and the human being

Applied to humans , the concept of serenity is often associated with a person's ability to act rationally and calmly at all times . A person who is serene, therefore, does not let himself be carried away by impulses or emotions.

Let's say a house fire breaks out and a person is trapped inside a room, surrounded by flames that spread through the building. If the individual remains calm, he will try to find a way out while protecting his safety. On the other hand, a man who is desperate about the situation will probably just scream and do things that will not help him escape from the place.

There are people who have a calm character, but there are others who, due to certain circumstances in life such as stress or dramatic situations, have completely lost their serenity. Therefore, it is established that the latter should take measures to recover it as long as it will help them to have a much calmer life.

Meditate

Meditation contributes to serenity.

Serenity in nature

The idea of ​​serenity can also be applied to nature . In this case, it is linked to the absence of weather conditions that agitate or alter the environment .

A beach is calm when there is no wind, to cite one possibility. The same can be said of a volcano that has not erupted for a long time.
