Knowing that there is a lot of suffering in the world, how can one find his inner peace?

By knowing that you are living a life which doesn't contribute to others suffering and that you do whatever you are able to help others in need on this planet. 

This is a humanist behaviour.

The other thing is to know and totally accept that sometimes, there is nothing further you can do and it may suprise you to know that this absolute atheist turns to a very famous prayer written by  American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr called the serenity prayer to remind me of this fact.

 Naturally, I removed the God reference as I consider it a calling to myself...

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference. 

This is such an important life lesson for us all to take on board and provide ourselves with inner peace!

How this helps my friend :-)
