Regardless of what happens in life, if it’s pushed away it will cause suffering. Even if what’s occurring initially causes suffering, the suffering will deepen the more it’s pushed away…
Everything has its place regardless if it’s considered and this is because it’s what’s there so to say this or that shouldn’t be happening leads to suffering because the moment is being pushed away. This isn’t to say everything that happens is suppose to happen, but what does happens is what’s there and there’s no changing it. The results of what happens can be changed, but not the initially, that is unless one is coming from a different place than what was previously known. This may change the initial results, but they are still the results of what’s occurring now. So much energy is wasted on pushing away what has occurred and why it’s wasted energy is because the unchangeable is trying to be changed.
When you get to a place where something labeled good, bad, or indifferent isn’t pushed away, this is a place of freedom. Nothing should be pushed away, I know this is difficult to imagine and this isn’t to say not take action to change things, but what has occurred still has be accepted so the action to change something purely comes from love and compassion and not from the ego. Even someone who is totally unconscious and causes much harm to others shouldn’t be pushed away either because it’s the conditioning in place that makes one do what they do; one is still accountable for their actions. Use this example; If you hit a slice in golf, pushing away you hit a slice doesn’t change that fact, move on, learn from it and just maybe your next tee shot won’t be a slice, but even if it is, don’t push it away and move on. Nothing has to be pushed away unless that’s what you have in place…
