Awareness is the silent and choiceless observation of 'what is'. - J.Krishnamurti
All human suffering is a variation on this theme—trying to control the waves, trying to control our present-moment experience so it conforms to our ideas and concepts of how it should be. If you want to suffer, compare this moment with your image of how it should be! -- Jeff Foster
