Judgments Create Distress

Some days are diamonds.  AHHHH.
Some days are stones.  Uggh.

This is not a problem.
The problem is that we cling to our diamonds.  Some people kill them for, commit crimes for them.  We wear them as a sign of love.  We treasure them and insure them.  
At the same time, we avoid stones.  We rake up the stones, crush them, pile them up in a spot behind the shed.
Both are just the same.  Created from compressed sediments in the earth.
The difference is how we think about them.  We have decided, maybe through experience or maybe through the people around us, that one is good and the other is bad.

  Our judgments create the distress, not the actual events.

Hooray for good news!  We can learn to work with judgments while the events outside of us are out of our control.
