Things around us It always affects us in one way or another. Whether it's the weather, people around us, trees, animals, things, clothing, food, etc., even some things that humans create have an impact on us quite a bit, such as position, status, class (value of people), value of things (
It can be clearly seen by evaluating the value in money) etc.
Some things we can touch. But some things we can't touch. And the things that are intangible but have the greatest impact on us are Feelings (intangible but can recognize)
When something comes to us, we can experience it in any of the five senses. We will inevitably have various feelings arise. both good and bad Like it or not? But how did these feelings come about??
Sometimes when we see, hear, smell, taste, touch, various feelings arise. But sometimes thoughts can make us feel different things as well, without relying on external influences. But it comes from within, not in the head. Or in your mind
Many times we tend to act according to the feelings that arise, such as seeing this or that thing as beautiful. I feel like I'm pleased. I'd like to get it. So you have to take action and get it away. When I got it, I felt happy and happy. But if not, some people might accept it. But some people can't accept it and feel sad and longing. On the other hand, if you see anything that is not beautiful or beautiful I feel disgusted.
I don't want it to come close. If you don't want to see it, don't want to see it, run away from it, chase it away, knock it out. If it can be removed from our lives, we will feel at ease and happy. But if you can't get it out, it will cause suffering, but you have to endure it because it will never leave us.
Therefore, we ourselves are not independent from external factors.
But we can find inner freedom. at our own minds
If our heart doesn't cling to the feelings that arise. Because once it is born, it will disappear. Whether it's happiness or suffering If you cling to it, your happiness must be with me. Good things must stay with me. As for bad things, bad things, go away. It's impossible. Because we cannot control every external factor.
If we don't cling to anything We will find true freedom.
