This lesson is moving and simple. If you see things clearly as they are, you see know of things as impermanent. You see nothing as a source of happiness. You see no self.
I, naturally, forget all of these when the shit hits the fan. I see my will as the force which steers me to the things I want, and over and over, the things I buy make me happier before I have them than after. And after years of reading and practicing what I learn about the Noble Truths, I see myself as ever changing, but oh so real.
