You will get them, it's how you respond to them that matters.I'm not suggesting we can go through life without having to face many testing times, samsara, (the wheel of life, birth, life and death) guarantees that.
But, with the realisation, the awareness that, ultimately, all we want is a peaceful mind, it's then possible to look within and examine .
We can then work on the negative states we so often find ourselves in and by close examination , at least try to understand why we feel this way.
Just to give a simple example...
Someone cuts you up whilst driving. Do you get angry, annoyed, blast the horn at them?
With awareness you can see and realise this reaction does not help the situation and certainly could worsen it.
Next time someone does that, realise there are many bad and inconsiderate drivers on the road and quite often you will unfortunately come across them.
So, just try, with this awariness to accept their erratic driving, take what evasive action is necessary and carry on with your journey WITHOUT GIVING IT ANOTHER THOUGHT.
This is how you cultivate a peaceful mind, start with the little things.
"Everything that irritates us about others can lead to a better understanding of ourselves."

It's not abouti finding a destination or even aspiring to anything. It's about self improvement for the benefit of yourself and others around you.Self improvement or self awareness can come in small steps, no-one is that grounded to believe there's no room for improvement, although some are that conceited.

Of course you do, or you wouldn't do it.Maybe ask yourself why you enjoy it, if you look deep enough you'll find its has little to do with the other person involved.

bodleing2: There is only one true answer.
Dylan Thomas captures it best for me. To know that life is doomed and dark is right but live anyway, to rail against the buddhist unperson where death holds dominion and life has no consequence even though death and irrelevant lives are facts.------ This thread is Archived ------

Wise words Bod. The search for inner peace is the most noble endeavour of all. Are you a psychologist?Maybe ask yourself why you enjoy it, if you look deep enough you'll find its has little to do with the other person involved.

Bod, I have my own vision of the life and what I want from it and how I want to make it happen...Maybe ask yourself why you enjoy it, if you look deep enough you'll find its has little to do with the other person involved.
And everyone that crosses my path and everything that happens all over the world has it's impact on it...
I had my storms and hurricanes and quiet waters and I am sure I want them all again and again in my life no matter what...and where they take me...
