![]() Instead of running from it, we must let ourselves connect with those deepest parts of ourselves. In this book, meditation is used as an example to practice feeling pain. What if feeling pain is simply a sign of wisdom, of change, of stepping further down the path to the best life we can ever lead? We do everything we can to feel pleasure, thinking that feeling bad is a result of unfairness or failing in the world. We hate it, we ignore it, we distract ourselves from it. The overall message of the book is how, as humans, we often see pain as fundamentally bad. You kind of go on your own journey of reflective thoughts throughout it, finding yourself as you find your way through the book. ![]() It’s so hard to sum up this book because it has so much raw and honest wisdom within it. I am personally not religious myself, but it’s one of those books that is applicable to anyone, whatever life choices they have made. When Things Fall Apart is a non-fiction book all about Buddhist teachings. ![]()
