The Problem and The Solution
The real problem is simply this:
I see self, others, things, places, life, etc., as either dangerous or painful to my self, to my being.
The real solution is simply this:
I see only my thinking as either dangerous or painful to my self.
No one and nothing can make me think I am bad or inferior--therefore, only my thinking can hurt me, only my thinking is either dangerous or painful for me.
Yes, self, others, things, places, life, etc., can be either dangerous or painful for my body--but NOT my being!
Physical pain can come from others.
But psychological pain can only come from my own thinking.
Other people are neither pain nor danger for my being.
My self is neither pain nor danger for my being.
My thinking can be pain or danger for my being.
