I don’t want to be fearful of fear
I don’t want to be happy about happiness
I don’t want to be sad about sadness
I don’t want to be joyous about joy
I don’t want to regret regret
Buddha spoke about two arrows –
The first that life throws at us
The second which we inflict on ourselves
There is experience.
Then there is “thinking” about it.
The second arrow is avoidable.
Wisdom is –
Living through the crests & troughs
In equanimity.
