There are the two essence of feeling, or the root of the feeling. These attracts a being to another thing. It's pain and joy.
- Because of pain, we are aware of what fear is.
- Because of joy, we are aware of what comfort is.
This fear or comfort is the cause of rejection or acceptance, getting closer or far away, take it or leave it.
The essence is being attracted or being detached.
But can we pull those pain and joy even deeper? Yes
It's reward & punishment. These are actually the cause of those joy & fear.
Now, how do we apply these to our life?
Simply by having awareness of possible reward & punishment.
Meaning? Yes, once we found a rewarding issue or punishment issue, just check for the correctness whether it’s fake or true. Why? well simply because the nature of humanity is being attracted or being detached (the level of obedience) to get a comfort life.
So we have to be curious of the situation that may put us into pain (uncomfort) or comfort.
Therefore anything related to rewarding or punishment issue must be considered as a high priority alert to our concern.
And this approach is natural for humanity.
This means obedience through following or rejection just because of being threatened or there is hope, and it is not a trivial reason.
We don’t have to accept something because of complicated reasoning
A simple reasoning is enough: being threatened or getting hope
