How we see life

[Jitendra Hy-do-u-no-us?]

"We see life through a screen of thoughts and concepts, and we mistake those for reality. We get so caught up in this endless thought stream that reality flows by unnoticed. We spend our time engrossed in activity, caught up in an eternal pursuit of pleasure and gratification and eternal flight from pain and unpleasantness. We spend all our energies trying to make ourselves feel better, trying to bury our fears, endlessly seeking security."
