Awaken

What the ego calls love is addictive and clinging. Which can turn to hate in a second. Anticipation about an up coming event, which is the egos over evaluation of the future, easily turns into its opposite, let down or disappointment. When the event is over or doesn't full fill the egos expectations. Praise and recognition makes you feel happy alive one day. Being criticised or ignored make you feel unhappy and dejected the next. The pleasure of a whiled party turns into bleakness and a hang over the next morning. There's no good without bad, no high without low. Egos is the minds identification with external factors. Which are of course all unstable and liable to change at any moment. The deeper emotions are not really emotions at all but states of being. Emotions exist within the realm of opposites. States of being can be obscured but they have no opposite.. They emanate within you as the love joy and peace that are aspects of your true nature - Eckhart Tolle
