In Search of Peace

[wlotus]

Perhaps I'll find peace faster, if I just accept the non-peaceful thoughts I have about various people and things, rather than trying to find ways to fight/change my feelings. The feelings will pass in their own time.

That's pretty much the essence of zen, right there. Feelings simply are, kind of like the weather. Fighting/rejecting them doesn't help, is actually an act of self-violence.

*hugs* That's what I try my best to do. It does seem to be helping.

::hugs:: I think too often we all expect to be able to fight/change/act on what we feel - to be able to just accept them and let them be, then let them fade on their own? Not so easy.

Feelings are not good or bad. They just are. That's what my counselor always told me.
