WHO HATES WHAT LIFE?

Have you ever declared, “I hate my life?”

I have.

And then I looked for what I hated, and couldn’t find it. I didn’t hate the cup of tea I was drinking. I didn’t hate the chair I was sitting on, or the clothes I was wearing, or the roof and walls that sheltered me. I didn’t hate the food I was fortunate enough to eat. I didn’t hate my two arms, two legs, two ears, two eyes, and I didn’t hate that they were all functioning well. The more I looked at my life, trying to find what I hated, the more I realized that it wasn’t there. It didn’t exist.

It only existed in a story I had made up. It wasn’t about anything that was actually happening, it was about something that wasn’t happening. Life wasn’t obeying me, wasn’t doing what I wanted, wasn’t giving me something I wanted. And when I believed a story about how things should be, I could believe that I hated life. When I didn’t believe the story, but instead looked at life as it was - the taste of tea, the purring of cats, the noise of traffic, the voices of friends, the work of the day - there was nothing but love.
