One of the greatest intuitions is the reality of "relativity". I'm not referring to Einstein's theories, but to our every-day life. If you really think about it, you realize that not only time but absolutely everything is "relative", i.e. it doesn't have an absolute value. Let's say that you want something but you can't get it. If you attribute to your desire an absolute value, if you therefore believe that you "must" have it because without it you will be unhappy, not getting it will greatly disappoint you, it will make you sad and/or angry. But if you come to the realization that, after all, your desire is not so important, that you can live without it, your life will become easier and more serene. Why? Because your disappointments and upsets will remarkably decrease. You will more often say, "So...what?", and move on.
