From experimentation of the mind, I’ve realized that the less reactions and judgements I have of the people around me and the events which happen, the more at peace I become. I keep reacting instinctively to everything around me, through years of autopilot that I am ripped about due to desire. Reactions of the mind occurs due to me wanting to change something or desiring something. It could be wanting that attractive girl walking past or wanting the person to behave a certain way. It appears this judgement occurs 24/7 especially when I am walking outside. It can be safe to assume that because I am doing this, everybody around me is essentially reactively going about their day as well. Their thoughts cloud their view of reality and what is around them.
These reactions cause us to walk around in a dream-like state judging and desiring everything that happens to us every day. Why does this even occur? It’s my preferences of how things should be. Its my attraction and aversion to things which create a duality. If there is a duality this is a judgement. This judgement causes suffering because we go though our whole lifes looking for the good whilst avoiding the bad. Since I am a human, every human being is the same. This makes everyone asleep and reactive our whole lives.
