Just had a visit to a nearby new theatre, looked into the seating arrangement and there are beautiful luxury seats in the front for the VIP’s and followed by a few rows of good seats and followed by normal seats. This kind of seat arrangement may also be in our mind for the emotions like Pleasure and distress, fear and courage, desire and aversion. where do they take their seat? 

May be in the first rows and pushed into the back rows by our mind from consciousness to subconsciousness depending on our understanding and the maturity of our mind . Why we prefer pleasure over distress. We prefer pleasure not because of giving happiness but pleasure gives some kind of security maybe an extension of safe life for a period or our conditioned mind is programmed to release some enzymes to feel ecstasy. When we feel distress, we can also feel good if we know how to see the pattern. So we can invite or protect us from them. The distress was good because suddenly it helps you to aware of who you are and helps to fall in love with yourself and some people pity themselves by standing in front of the mirror to know the real face in times of crises. Why don’t we love both and speak to ourselves, “Okay now I am undergoing distress and I’m entering in my journal and watch how this is going to disappear when pleasure enters and vice versa.” This is more than becoming enlightenment coz in enlightenment you leave the world but now doing this, you are enlightened and rightly staying in the centre of the Society. The advantage is, you can see the bad emotion switching its seats to the back rows and allow good to fill in. 

How to exercise courage, You don’t have to hit someone or slay a dragon in front of the society. You have to behave in such a way that if someone touches you by words or physically. you hit back strongly. you don’t have to show in action but Rough Behaving is enough. And also do small aggressive acts and display once in a while. hence your colleague and friend will be in caution against you. Fear is a default mode of emotion. when any new situation encountered sometimes the emotion of good also wrongly experienced as fear. Wait and Watch the fear, it’ll tell you a solution.

Desire and aversion swing like a pendulum. You always move from one end to another. Desire pushes our likes and aversion helps to take note of the bad situation. Aversion is one way moving away or a behaviour to postpone an act. Both are needed to safeguard us from society. Sometimes we are carried away by impulse behaviour and we need a shore to put a break. If you know both they act together by cancelling one another.
