Because of the way one becomes conditioned, each moments touch with life is put into a category of like or dislike; there are times it seems the moments touch is neutral. The only reason anyone has an issue with life is because it’s desirable to have each moments touch pleasant, but this is impossible because life isn’t designed in this way. Not that life personally does anything to anyone, but things do happen that can be considered unpleasant .Case in point is the current pandemic situation. The label unpleasant can be attached to, it doesn’t change what’s happening it only changes the degree of suffering; the suffering is the direct result of attaching to wanting the moments touch different. If there isn’t attachment it doesn’t mean what’s happening is liked, but you can be in the moments touch of something being unpleasant and not attach a label to it.
Life just rolls along, it stops for nothing. The moments touch is one continuous motion. It may seem like individual things are happening, but that’s only because of the way your conditioning uses time and breaks life up into segments. The unpleasant is constantly pushed away to try and make room for what is considered pleasant; as if when one decides it’s pleasant, it makes life perfect. For there not to be suffering, life has to be seen as perfect in the moments touch because that’s what’s there. The Conditioned Mind wants life a certain way (pleasant) all the time, but until you can be with the unpleasant the same as the pleasant, there will always be self created suffering. This is because you will always be trying to arrange the moments touch the way you think it should be and not be with the moments touch the way it actually is…
