8."There is nothing either good or bad,but thinking makes it so."-William Shakespeare,Hamlet.One of the greatest sources of unhappiness,in my experience,is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.
When we see something we don't like,we wish it could be different-we cry out for something better.That may be human nature,or perhaps it's something that's ingrained in our culture.
An example:in my recent article,A Beautiful Method to Find Peace of Mind,quite a few people thought my view was too negative because I said you should expect people to mess up,expect things to go differently than you planned,and that you should accept that willingly.
It's too negative to expect things to go wrong,they said.However,it's only negative if you see it as negative,if you judge it as bad.Instead,you could accept it as the way the world works-as the way things actually are.And try to understand why that is,and embrace it as it is.Accept these things as they are,and try to understand why they're that way.
Does it mean you can never change things and make this world a better place?Not at all.But not because the world is full of misery,but because that's the path you choose to take,because you enjoy that path and the process of change.
Try a different approach:accept,and understand.It might lead to some interesting results.
