My ego does react to people's stories and even to those that dont involve me. Such as sad ending movies, my mind wont stop dwelling on a sad scene. Its like the mind wants to suffer and Im guessing that its true. We all want happiness, yet we suffer. Why? Because the mind loves to suffer, so we always prefer drama. The want for happiness is itself a way to suffer, so you can see how the mind brings out thoughts that seem positive, but are undercover pain so to speak
. There is no pleasure without pain.
I guess there is no need to handle a situation. Handling is to control, and ego just loves to control
. So trying to handle a situation isnt going to change the mind. There is no way to change the mind without fueling it. All we can do is surrender to the mind as false. Ignore it at all times and stick to awareness. And from my tiny experiences, that is in fact true happiness.
