Are all feelings including pain/pleasure and emotions just ups and downs. Is everything a double edged sword? I know this is not quite paranormal but it feels like addressing the elephant in the room of what suffering is to begin with
>>42529495The opposite of feelings is no feeling.The opposite of pain is not pleasure - it is nothing, no feeling.The opposite of pleasure is not pain - it is nothing, no feeling.Love vs. no feeling at all.Hate vs. no feeling at all.Ups and downs are feelings, up or down.Nothing, is nothing.Is everything a double edged sword? No.It took me from being Unhappy, to now being neutral. I'm not unhappy nor happy. But while I was unhappy, I did things whichbI thought were what made me happy - they are not, because I don't pursue them when not unhappy.... I have forced myself, but they bring little joy. Video games and weight lifting were two such things... I no longer do either. they don't make me happy. But, I'm not un-happy by any means.Do I feel nothing? Almost... Well, no, I constantly feel like there is meeting or something I'm procrastinating or a deadline do etc etc. But mostly that's not the case at all.I'm trying to deprogram that constant high alert feeling.>The opposite of feelings is not feeling.
