What is life? What is contentment? Is it possible to live without fear? Is it possible to experience absolute contentment for even an instant? The sense of having no more wants?
It seems as though at every instant, there is this background of incessant dissatisfaction. A sense that things are somehow not right. A sense that change will come. Change makes it impossible to remain satisfied.
Today your situation is one way. Tomorrow it will be another. What then can one rely on? Death is continuously stalking.
Fear of poverty, of illness of being left alone, of dependency dominate the recesses of the mind. How does one guarantee the stability of any emotional state.
Certain thought trains have enormous influence on your well being. Certain intense thoughts keep playing over and over again. There seems to be no relief from these intense thought trains. What fuels these thought trains? What fuels regret? The expectation that things could somehow be different. The belief that things could somehow be different had you made a different choice. The belief that things as they stand at this moment should not be this way. The belief that you could have acted differently in the 'past'.
That which matters cannot be affected by any action, past present or future. Certain variable interact among themselves and an 'action' is performed. Who is the performer of these actions? Who is the thinker of thoughts?
