Hello andyrobyn,

For example, practice has enabled me to see how I tolerate, avoid and accept feelings of dissatisfaction in unhealthy ways and from seeing this practice then also helps me to change these patterns rather than continue on in unproductive ways. Hope that makes sense To be quite honest, i could not understand what you meant by "accept feelings of dissatisfaction in unhealthy ways ". From my limited understanding, there are three ways of dealing with dissatisfaction:

1- expression
2- suppression
3- acceptance (or totality) which is the middle way or the Buddhist way as i understand it.

I thought its through the very acceptance (or in other words complete lack of desire) of this shore we transform it from mundane to supermundane. So how can the acceptance be described as unhealthy?

Regards,
Bundokji
