Pursuit of the truth can also be a distraction from what’s actually truly happening in this moment. Emotions aren’t arbitrary — they contain immense amounts of information. I’ve found that “controlling” emotions doesn’t work for me. What works a lot better for me is to acknowledge and accept my emotions, care for the part of me that is feeling that, and then let the emotion fade naturally. I’ve learned to more gently ride the waves and shifts of feelings that move through me, and it’s really made a big difference in my life. There is more to life than pursuing truth. Ultimately, it is impossible to fully attain, so striving for it at all costs is a battle that cannot be won. Ask yourself what does it mean to live a good life? And then continue to ask that question as you live and experience new things. And don’t forget to touch dirt now and then. We are much more than thinking machines.
