Mindfulness can pierce the mystery of suffering and the mechanism of discomfort. Mindfulness can make you free. There is, however, another Catch-22. Mindfulness does not react to what it sees. It just sees and understands.
Mindfulness is the essence of patience.
Therefore, whatever you see must be simply accepted, acknowledged and dispassionately observed. This is not easy, but it is utterly necessary. We are ignorant. We are selfish and greedy and boastful. We lust and we lie.
