why do we hold onto anything ? the entire world of formed particles around you will exist to you as however you choose your perspective to be . believe me , i struggle with this all the time . i live on extremes - im either nauseatingly ecstatic or gloomy , and ive come to believe that this is the manifestation of the opposite of zen . when i exist in my daily life, that my mood and perspective can fluctuate so violently is merely the product of relying to harshly on the surfaces and appearances of particular situations . when i have a better grasp on my own emotions , when i have some control and focus , i find that my ability to reflect on a multitude of perspectives is balanced and im able to run into things screaming rather than be dragged into things against my will (by myself, of course )
