A lot, maybe all, suffering comes from resisting what is, placing the label of ‘bad’ on the situation.
Suffering is transcended when we accept what is.
But here’s the thing, acceptance is merely seeing things as they are.
Acceptance doesn’t mean we can’t also see things better than they are.
Acceptance doesn’t mean we can’t take action to make things better.
Acceptance is not giving up and becoming passive, it’s step one of being truly at source.
If you keep saying ‘the bad guy won’ and judging everyone who supports them as an idiot, then you are playing right into the ‘good vs evil’ fallacy.
At the South Island Show Jumping Champs late last year, my daughters won the classes they were entered in.
A while ago we were at a horse show. Zara and I walked the course, and I read the jump off and told Zara what it was.
