The Horror of the Game of the Spiritual Journey

The horror of the spiritual journey is you always get what you want, but by the time you get it, you don't always want what you get. For example, if you meditate and in the course of the meditation, you quiet your mind enough to see how you've been clinging to your own self-pity,. You start to let it go and you start to feel more happiness. But there's a hook in that one too. The hook is in the beautiful story of the king who said to the wise men of a tribe, he was going to exterminate this minority group. If overnight you can come up with one thing that every time I'm unhappy will make me happy
