Dear dfh;

I am doing the same thing: accepting my life as is.

Notice: where did it get you “always… working toward something better, striving to improving (your) life…” ?

Might as well try something different…!

Dear dfh:

What people say is often enough simply not true. One clear example is what marketing says: buy! buy and buy more and you will be happy. Not true, buying more does not bring happiness, well being, peace of mind. So you have to examine everything you hear and read for truth. Including what I write here to you. Experiment with this and that, find out for yourself. Have a “Beginner’s Mind” one you have after you empty it from what people have told you…You close your ears, figuratively and let everything others said out of your brain and then start hearing again, from the beginning. What is true? What is not true?

You let your senses (see, hear..) and your own logic determine what is true.

Dear dfh:

I too strongly dislike deceiving people, hate it really: when it is done globally by marketing of products, people included as products and when done between people otherwise, a lot of the time.

I don’t think we can let the past out of our brains, the connections we have in our brains were made in the past and we can’t disconnect those connections (as in between let’s say spiders and fear, just an example) by an act of will. What I am suggesting is to let out what other people tell us we should think, how others tell us we should interpret the past, and the present and see each as it really was and as it really is.
