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?
