What one resists persists, what one
accepts frees.
Otherwise, one is merely suppressing or at most one
pursues 'sth' else to distract oneself or
suppress it. It's
relegated to one's 'memory' bank or if will, the subconscious - it
will sooner or later erupt like a volcano!
The 'problem' or it becomes one when one intreprets the 'clouds'
for the sky. One can never be rid of the 'clouds'
or control(emotions). The emotion
is the 'movie' and the screen is the real thing.
The anguish/pain is not from the circumstance/event/situation
but cos of the identification with the
particular emotion and 'fighting' or suppressing it. The emotion is
the 'movie' (it passes n ends) and the 'screen' is the real thing.
Just watching the emotions and being aware that it is there - will
eventually transform one.
However, when one acknowledges, understands
n accepts one comes to
know that all emotions are akin to the 'passing clouds' and
behind the clouds is the real me (the clear sky, screen) one
can n one is bound to handle oneself
differently.
One only has to have the virtue of patience!
