I once read an idea quoted from a Buddhist teacher, something like, "Hell is wanting to be somewhere different from where you are; wishing that reality was different."
I've thought a lot about that.
It's true; there is something miserable and stifling about refusing to accept the situation you are in. And there is something serene, humbling, heavenly, about living this moment, whatever it is, with openness and curiosity.
This is a skill I want to cultivate.
