SUMMARY
The ordinary life is described as disjointed: up today, down tomorrow, with brief spells of calm followed by excitement, then depression and discontent. This is not presented as fate, but as the predictable movement of mind and emotions, the self selecting actions to correct reactions, staggering from one foot to the other.
Change begins with self-honesty. The first workable place to change is where emotional reaction arises, especially in the force of wanting to be right, because rightness demands defence, position, and stubbornness that cannot love in that moment.
The solution is practical and immediate: surrender 'wanting to be right' while it is there, and discover what is real by what continues.
