“I really think the philosophy is overly simple really and yet it’s saying I should think of the world as simple. I just don’t fully agree that our emotions are to reach a goal - when I found my beautiful husband who I loved with all my heart dead on the bedroom floor I was traumatised. When I feel grief and sadness and anger it’s because I have reason to! It’s been 8 years and I still cry and cry and I have had insensitive people who were my friends - it’s because they were insensitive not because I wanted to be above them. It’s just wrong. I think most people are communal and don’t always have to feel or seek Superiority. I’m not a Queen bee. But I’ve seen it in others. But that’s up to them.
Anyway, maybe I’m misunderstanding it. I need to read the books.
I do agree though that we can control ourselves. A lot. I’ve had to have so much of that to survive the grief and trauma - but we are biological and react in a biological way. If someone punches me in the stomach it hurts.”
