Hold that thought

 The mind desires this,

and grieves for that. 

It embraces one thing

and spurns another.

Now it feels anger,

now happiness.

In this way you are bound.

Ashtavakra Gita

 

Stoic have hardened their sensitivity, and

wear their lack of emotion like a badge of honor.

Get naked instead! Be super sensitive within and without.

Between stimulus and response there is a train of thought, 

waiting to leave the station. Let it. But don’t jump on board.

Let it run into nowhere, while remaining now here!
