Solving the Unhappiness of Unwanted Experiences

Our thoughts are in a continuous flow. Note that we take some of our thoughts as "just thoughts" as we. "The truth" other than under Why we thought, 'There should be different "or" It could be different, "to be true, and not just a thought?

If you're like me, you can not find in your immediate and direct experience, no reason to conclude that "it could / should be different" is the truth. In other words, we have assumed that the true faith! Why not treat it as a simple thought that we find that it is grounded in the reality of our direct experience?

Ask yourself: "What's the" It "in" should / could be different Can you do something different from your direct experience now no "understanding"?

It is easy to see that someone would want to experience this moment, to be different, as the experiment is very painful. However, it should or could be different just because we want it? Really?

What happens when you are in pain, and you think, "He should / could it be otherwise?" Does the thought of using and is it better? Or is it to add your emergency?

Clear to see that your experience everything and if anything it is that no matter what you want, and it can not be otherwise, because it's what it is.

Ask yourself: "Is my life not of experiences and adventures, which I do not I want to, or could my life or the life of someone to have only experiences are done together I want, and is a life experience? I'm just really desirable? "

When we see clearly, that may not be the experience of the present moment as it is, and it should not could come to be different, is the actual experience of pain, but the extra pain (alas) comes to believe that "it should / could it be disappearing. " In other words, we are still in pain, but we're not unhappy.
