Another Beginning of the Whiteaura

Life arises as it arises. It is our demand that it turn out differently, that causes our suffering and the suffering we inflict upon others. We demand that we live forever, never seeing the beauty of aging or older people. We demand that everyone loves us, that we make no mistakes, eat only fine food, stay beautiful forever, get what we think is out just due. We go to all lengths to secure these illusions, including putting our lives at risk. We hide from illness, tragedy, old age and loneliness, abandoning those who are experiencing them. We refuse sorrow and ugliness, not realising that ugliness and sorrow are inside us. Then we wonder why we suffer, trapped in a life without any way out.
