Living with Emotional Weather · It's Only Bad If You Hate It
⁘ “The full spectrum of weather. Sunshine and rainfall. It's natural and it's beautiful. Problem is when you don't like that. That makes you moody sad. There's suffering. But it's just what is — it's an experience. Nothing is bad-bad.”
So I mentioned the other day about how the weather isn't moody.
It's just you who gets moody when you don't like the weather.
And then I posted a video where
it's raining cats and dogs and I'm borderline soaking.
What's with that?
So yeah, there is definitely a certain emotional resonance in different types of weather.
As out there – so in here.
Different tunings, different configurations, different tensions – that happens.
It's natural and it's beautiful.
The only problem is when you don't like that.
That makes you sad.
That generates suffering.
That's the only bad mood.
Soaking wet, hurting like hell, that's not bad mood.
That's not suffering.
That's just what is, it's an experience.
Sweet heart taking a hike, a beloved pet creature dying.
That's also not bad, bad.
And it's not bad mood fundamentally.
It just is what is.
Yeah, you have certain emotions.
As the weather rises and falls – but it's not bad, bad.
