I’ve never fainted but I’ve caught my daughter once at a festival and that was scary enough as it is.
One second she’s ok, the next she’s woozy and I can only imagine what would’ve happened if I wasn’t standing next to her.
I don’t know what it would be like if I had fainted instead.
Lawrence Yeo did. In front of his young daughter. And (temporarily) messed up his face. And he writes about it.
Everything Will Be Okay [More To That] – “The Buddha once broke down the distinction between pain and suffering through the analogy of two arrows. When we experience a setback or negative event, we are struck by the first arrow, which is pain. But shortly thereafter, we are then struck by a second arrow, which is our emotional reaction to that pain. This second arrow is where suffering is born, and while we can’t avoid the inevitably of pain, we have more control over whether we want to suffer as a result.”
Happy Monday.
