chairs don't want you to be happy
as i already explained in another one of my posts - you don't really see the apple
but like fuck the apple - you can always have an orange
although when it comes to chairs, it can be a bit more tricky - as those filthy wooden things somehow always find their way into the middle of the room, and the space of the room is supposed to be traversed so you can access all of the goodies the room blesses you with
but again, those tricky little chairs don't want you to be happy so they park themselves in the middle of the room - but what do you do now when you don't see the chair
ehh you see now it is a real problem
and that is why you have to meditate - so you can see the chair and act accordingly
if you don't meditate and don't see the chair itself - you can't go around it, you will have to bump into it a few times before you put it into it's place (the fireplace)
but again - what if you aren't emotionally regulated (again cos you don't meditate), and then bumping makes you think:
- if i can't go around the chair can i really do my job ?
- if i can't keep a simple job will my wife leave me ?
- if she leaves me, do i just kill myself ?
- am i a pussy for thinking about killing myself ?
and then fuck - who knows what happens, maybe just missery but every experience is a chance for a mental fallout
and yes that is what the chair wants - actually when you don't see, it could even be that everything around you wants that (or at least it could look like that to you)
so please just sit and stare at the wall
or read my masterfully written layman's intro to meditation(actually it is pretty bad don't read it, save yourself some time and just google Rob Burbea guided meditation)
cheers (:
