Every time I come out of a turbulence, I find that there is a great feeling of appreciation for the simple things in my life. It must be that the turbulence of suffering covers up this fact because now that I am sitting here, aware of the gratefulness that is there for the life that surrounds me, I have to admit that it is so.
I have to also admit that any perceived dissatisfaction that I have with my life that causes me to suffer must come from a false or unclear perception of the true nature of what is. It is like I lose touch with the fundamental reality and get lost in a mental/emotional whirlwind of my own making. I know this to be true because many times I have spontaneously "fallen out" of suffering into a complete sense of well-being, usually because I suddenly see the ridiculousness of my argument, suffering or issue with what is.
I have to realize that my perceptual instrument can be very limited in its understanding and scope. I cannot always trust its readings and sometimes I just have to let go and use the Force.
