I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.

Tolerance is a form of generosity and it is a form of wisdom. There is nothing anywhere in the Dharma that should ever lead anyone to become intolerant.-Hsing Yun

Finding Comfort in Being Uncomfortable

Living a life of moderation to me means living in a constant stage of being slightly uncomfortable.  I think there is a danger in being to comfortable.  Expectations grow from being comfortable. The more you expect, the less you are able to accept.  Accepting the impermanency of life makes it easy to live moderately.
We become irritate when we get attached on our view on the way things "should be." Be the flow, do not command the flow. Feel the feelings, drop the story. What you feel only matters to the self. What really counts is how we behave in the world. Our "feelings" or "beliefs" do not make us better people, but there is no doubt that our behavior does. So we can not be upset by results we did not receive from work we did not do.
