Problems of mind

No matter how much wealth you amass,

Or how late you stay in the office,

Or how big an empire you build,

You will die.

When you die, it all goes to zero.

That’s guaranteed fact.

So what is there to stress about?

Sometimes your body is in physical pain, that is real.

Your body is suffering, and you have to solve it.

All other pains are mental.

Before you perceive mental pain, your brain narrates and interprets your experience as a problem.

Before a problem is invoked, your brain generated a thought, and you chose to believe it.

But it’s not real, it’s just an interpretation.

And you can change your interpretation to be devoid of suffering.

It pays to be selective with the thoughts you choose to believe and identify with.

It all goes to zero anyway, no need to invent additional suffering.
