Subject: Problems as compulsions Author: Enquiring Mind [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:04:34 01/10/04 Sat In "How to conquer negative emotions" there is a chapter which deals with acknowledging that your problems are compulsions. We don't make choices to do things but we are compelled to do things. Our problems begin when we try to solve our own problems(playing God) instead of seeking understanding. So let's put this into context of a person who has a drug problem. When you see you are addicted you shouldn't struggle to overcome the addiction. But just see you are under a compulsion. Now my question is: If you just observe the addiction, what is it you are suppose to understand? Are you suppose to seek what caused the addiction and understand the things leading up to the addiction? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
