excerpt from “Everyday Zen” by Charlotte joko Beck
“There is an old koan about a monk who went to his master and said,
“I’m a very angry person, and I want you to help me.”
The master said, “Show me your anger.”
The monk said, “Well, right now I’m not angry. I can’t show it to you.”
And the master said,
“Then obviously it’s not you, since sometimes it’s not even there.”

my two cents: Emotions are ephemeral, fleeting and transparent, I am so much more than that.
Why not be grateful instead of angry?
Why not be kind instead of feeling sorry for ourself?
