"The source of our unease is the unfulfillable longing for a lasting certainty and security, for something solid to hold on to.

When anything unexpected or not to our liking happens, we think something has gone wrong. Even at the most mundane level, we get so easily triggered—someone cuts in front of us, we get seasonal allergies, our favorite restaurant is closed when we arrive for dinner.

We are never encouraged to experience the ebb and flow of our moods, of our health, of the weather, of outer events—pleasant and unpleasant—in their fullness. Instead we stay caught in a fearful, narrow holding pattern of avoiding any pain and continually seeking comfort. This is the universal dilemma."

Pema Chodron, in Taking the Leap: Freeing Ourselves from Old Habits and Fears
