Thank you for the quote Crompsin, it was a good read.
Another analogy might be the Emotional Hokey-pokey.
The hokey-pokey was because I worrying so much about "protecting my ego". I'm still learning, so bear with me.
When I worked on defining myself as "I am" instead of "self", the worries calmed down. Pain comes from trying to hold on to something that I have to let go. My emotional pain came from clinging to my idea of self. What is mine, what isn't. Emotions were also apart of those things that I have problems letting go of. Even though they are not physical , emotions are completely tangible. It confuses me, how do I feel something that's not there? Biologically, it all makes sense. How does something that doesn't exist cause pain?
Why do I feel pain even when I distance my(self) away from people?
I had to stop, asking questions, and trying to find an answer. It drove me batshit. Emotions are what they are. That's it. Move on to the next moment, observe, feel, but don't react. Enjoy every moment, we only have a set number.
I only have one game to play, Life. I try, unsuccessfully at times, to let those trivial and distracting games go. When I'm able too, life's got some pretty colors.
