What an amazing article, with so much to learn from and ponder.
While many thoughts came to my mind, this one stood out: our exit from this planet is a foregone conclusion. While we have absolutely nothing to with our creation, we somehow believe that our experiences in life will allow us to leave here somewhat related to a vision we have established. Most assume they will grow old and pass away peacefully.
Since each minute here is a gift, there is an obligation to honour that gift, even if it does not materialize in the manner which we anticipated. It doesn’t match our vision so we label it “bad”.
This is my approach to accepting things that can cause pain or suffering.
