How hard it can be to turn our
attention within! How easily we allow our old habits and set patterns to
dominate us! Even though they bring us suffering, we accept them with almost
fatalistic resignation, for we are so used to giving in to them. We may idealize freedom, but when
it comes to our habits, we are completely enslaved.
Still, reflection can slowly bring us
wisdom. We may, of course, fall back into fixed repetitive patterns again and
again, but slowly we can emerge from them and
change. -Rigpa
