1067. Avoiding pain or striving for pleasure?

That’s why we do anything… to avoid pain or gain pleasure.

What if we could remember just to ask ourselves in a moment of negativity, unpleasantness, whatever it may be that we’re feeling… what if we could remember to just ask ourselves is this really making me feel better? is this helping the situation at all?

Most of the time, it’s not, but asking the question causes us to think, to question what we believe to be true, and who knows, maybe we’ll change for the better.
