To keep life familiar and predictable and to remain asleep to living in the present moment, what internal and external unease do you unwittingly generate when things are going well?
Tension through intensity, passivity, or resentment?
Shame through pride, vainglory, or envy?
Anxiety through avarice, fear, or gratification?
Can you witness these qualities active within yourself while you long for ease? Or is the notion of ease merely a harbinger of tension, shame, and anxiety?
