"There's something
in our heart that really wants union, that wants to connect with
people, with life, with the world around us in a deep way. […]
openness then, the first part of Right Attitude, is this process
of discovery, of seeing what's here and opening to it, not trying to
change it but seeing what's here and opening to it, not trying to
change it but seeing clearly with mindfulness, without judging
out fear, loneliness, aggression, joy, happiness, love, sorrow;
our body, how we use it […] we learn about the forces of
desire, of fear, of wanting, of love, that makes the whole world
go round, and really runs our lives."
-Jack Kornfield, Eightfold Path for the Householder
