The same goes for mistakes at work and in relationships


with others; when similar symptoms start to show, you think, “I wonder if this will end the same way the other one did.” Then, a phenomenon just like the bitter memories of the past appears. People generally find it easy to blame their unhappiness


on external forces, such as the people around them or their environment. It never crosses their minds to think that they themselves are the ones creating the pattern of mistakes, much less realize that they actually love that pattern. That is why people who are unhappy have a tendency to repeat their unhappy experiences time and time again.


“ …you need to turn around and examine yourself from a third person’s perspective. You need


to enter the Middle Way and observe yourself again with a blank slate of mind.
