Maybe we should be concerned with winning. When we battle a powerful enemy, either we will triumph or we will be defeated - there is no middle ground. Battling against life's negative functions is an indivisible part of this. It is by being victorious in this struggle that we become whole. We have to win. Moreover Buddhism ensures that we can definitely do so.
By staying present.
By keeping our focus here.
By thinking positive thoughts.
By putting our knowledge to use,
in gratitude, in kindness and in enthusiasm
for the spirit of battle.
We must win the battle against the negative functions. We are hopelessly outnumbered. We are the underdogs, BUT.....
We HAVE met the enemy.
And she is us.
