But you've lost the thread of the discussion.
>> I was suffering every second,
>Do you realize you are probably suffering every minute even
>when you don't have to sit quietly?
This wasn't about enjoying "life as it comes". This was about being addicted to the next stimulus; exposed by just trying to sit down and meditate for 20 minutes.
You're conflating being able to handle and enjoy some chaos with the inability to tolerate a few moments of peace.

The suggestion was that you suffer even when your mind is engaged in something where this suffering was not apparent. In other words, even when you don't feel like you're suffering, you probably are. I disagreed with this by pointing out that even though meditation has its merits, there are other ways to enjoy your life, and therefore this assumption that you're 'probably suffering' is somewhat of a stretch.
