We perceive our circumstances as good or bad. The circumstances in themselves are powerless unless we attach our emotions to them.A boyfriend and girlfriend witnessing the sunset together find it so very romantic. But if they are forced to stay separately, the same sunset causes pain since they are apart.A man dying of terminal illness finds it as a signal of death.A depressed man finds it as "one more day gone".A poet finds poetry in the sunset.A painter finds beautiful shades in it.It's the same sunset but the perceptions are different.Learn to see a situation as just a situation. Neither good nor bad. Then there is no pain. No ecstasy.Learn to just BE. Don't try to BE.Love and Peace to All!!!
