33、 the unhappiness isnt that we want things to be different, however, its that we decided we didnt like it in the first placeWeve judged it as bad, rather than saying, “Its not bad or good, but it just is”Here is an exampleI have written a paper, A Beautiful Method to Find Peace of MindQuite a few peo
