Thanks for your dedicated comment. I particularly like your last sentence in the first paragraph, where you are saying "or a wild adventure", because ultimately we should learn to embrace the adventure as a good thing, something we most deeply want instead of seeing it as something that is happening against us. This is also why I prefer a state of inner equanimity and balance instead of overly losing myself in the feeling of experiences. because as soon as we prioritise certain areas, feelings or experiences in our life we will experience any deviations from that more intensely and tend to get more stuck in them while at the same time anything that is not aligned with our desired and prefered experience and feeling might appear more lacklustre. In a sense, once we leave our prioritised bubble, anything outside of it feels boring and dull, and usually we then live off the energy reserves accumulated in the bubble instead of being able to enjoy the very unique energy and beauty of the current moment. For some people who prefer getting lost in the experience I might appear as a spoilsport and boring but in truth I am probably able to enjoy just as much as them, if not more, I am simply choosing to not surpass the threshold where the clinging sets in.

To your second paragraph, I agree with you. Actually, I say that even the choice to fear or hate is a sign of the limitless freedom of choice (=Love) we have. Sounds like a know-it-all, I know, because putting this stance into practise is by far not as easy as it looks in theory, but at least it provides the best personal basic guideline to maneuver through life in the most inner peaceful way. :)
