Obsession: A Laughing Matter

Obsession is holding on to any concept or emotion; it is a laughing matter because it’s justified as ‘being interested’. If we cannot laugh at ourselves, then we have a problem.

Obsession is our teacher, showing us our personal foibles and weaknesses. We become enlightened when we acknowledge this laughable charade.

The Buddha sat in meditation for six years. Was that obsessive?
If we know what we’re doing, and there’s a good outcome, then it’s a laughing matter. 😀
