As Hard Facts Hit the Horizon · Recognize Your Conditioning
⁘ “Recognize the truth in whatever that hits your horizon. Negative reaction – observe your conditions. Positive reaction – observe your conditions. Most of it is baseline okay. Equanimity. Most of your suffering, that claustrophobic churn in your mind, is entirely avoidable. Interact with the world as it is. Raw — not warped to match your ideas. Play your roles, fulfill your duties. No attachment to the outcomes. It'll be okay at the end of the day. Keep it real.”
Recognize the truth in
whatever that hits your horizon.
Negative reaction – observe your conditions.
Positive reaction – observe your conditions.
You will recognize that most of it
is baseline okay, just fine.
Equanimity.
And you will realize that most of your suffering,
that claustrophobic churn in your mind,
is entirely avoidable.
Then, friend, interact with the world as it is,
instead of trying to warp it to match your ideas.
Whatever that stands to improve, to blossom
with the conditions present before you,
the momentum shall be there.
And whatever that is bound to degrade,
decay and break down,
based on the conditions present,
that too shall go by its momentum.
Then, play your roles, fulfill your duties
without attachment to the outcomes.
It will be okay at the end of the day.
Because reality, the truth of all things,
is always okay, working out its kinks.
But your ideas, they are never okay,
they're always distorted.
Keep it real.
Embrace the full spectrum of your life.
That's all.
