And when I hear this, it makes me laugh because my views and opinions usually lead me to be agitated and not worked up.

in all kinds of ways, you know?

So I can see that I have a lot of work to do around the views and opinions around that, especially, and that's a particular aspect of this that the Buddha highlights, and I'm so, so thankful for this.

He says it's clinging to any view, right view, helpful view, unhelpful view, confused views is going to be painful, but clinging to wrong view

is even more painful.

And right in there, there's a few suggestions of things that we could look at, tendencies that we have, wrongly understanding what is happening, the nature of reality.

And I can name a few if you want.

Please.

Well, the most classic wrong view that we cling to.

So we tend to project on things permanence.

So the wrong view of permanency, solidity, stability.

So we tend to very easily, our mind will make something permanent, you know.

I feel like shit, I'm going to feel like shit for the rest of my life.

I succeeded, it should continue.

I'm great, I'm great forever.

This is good, this is a nice place, it's going to be nice forever.

This is a good situation, it's going to be forever.

This is bad, it's going to stay like this.

So our mind has the tendency to make things permanent, solid in this way.

And we don't question this.
