She herself goes much further than I can in her acceptance and declares things along the line of there being 'nothing negative in the world' etc. I'm not that enlightened! Her method of enquiring into thoughts that mentally make war with reality, is definately worth a look to those interested in this idea. For me, I really like Scott's beautifully expressed advice to see reality for what it is but to appreciate the opportunities for positive in every negative situation. I like also the point about not imposing on reality qualities it doesn't have, e.g. cruelty, and here's one... fairness? Nice one Scott :)

I love that saying from one of my favorite animes. Yes, I do watch them, and people dont appreciate them enough, especially the good ones. I just wanted to put that on here because there seems to be a pattern to this page for famous or not famous sayings. Reality is not what people want to see, and accepting things for what they really are is important for everyone to do. Many of the things humans try to undrstand have an infinite paradox or something like that.

And I think what you're talking about is a huge obstacle to many people, partly because it can be so subtle. As we see in the 'spiritual ego', where people get stuck in repressing and denying reality in an attempt to keep it in line with some idealized image of spirituality. “Where your reality is yours to enjoy if you choose to.” — Wonderful line.
