Well its been quite a long time before I took time to write a blog…
Yes the mind, the human mind is works opposite. We often tell ourselves not to think pessimistically but yet our mind will, without consciousness ponder on the negative. What I hated is always the wild guess. we cannot read others mind nor we can control out mind to not guess others’ thoughts.
Our mind is like a movie director, we often like to think of the events that never happened or we try to visualise what will happen. And often it develops into bad thoughts.
Practising meditation on loving kindness have made me conscious of my thoughts and allow me to note the bad arising. Noting all these bad thoughts is easy but getting rid of bad thoughts are difficult. But being conscious of bad thoughts are good enough, rather than being ignorant of the bad thoughts and continue to imagine further.
A buddhist quote:色既是空, 空既是色
It means that the things that we see are false, however we still see the false as real.
There can be many interpretation to this phrase but for this moment this is what I thought.
