Being Upset Is Fair But......

What would happen if you suddenly (or finally?) realized that one of the reasons to be alive is to enjoy life? Would your attitude change? Let's think about this for a moment. If you reached the inner conviction that all your upsets are useless, that many of the judgments you express are unfair, that the resentment you harbor is groundless, how would you feel? Probably you are still convinced that you have the right to be upset when things don't go the way you want, that how you judge others is fair as you have good reasons to do so, that your resentment has ground because others have treated you badly. And you are absolutely right. You are entitled to believe all this. BUT.... are you happy because you believe you are right? Do you enjoy feeling this way? Is your life better, more pleasant and serene because of your "righteousness"?
