Every day I face my ignorance. At some point almost every day after feeling a negative emotion, I falsely attribute my feelings and thinking to external circumstances. Honesty demands that I look at my false accusations and make another choice. If I am honest, my suffering is limited; if I am dishonest and believe my ego's lies, my suffering extends for as long as I make this foolish choice. Believing my feelings are coming from external circumstances keeps me riveted where solutions aren’t found.
