Stories that seem comforting on the surface can lead to suffering for ourselves and others. Stories that make us uncomfortable lead to suffering for ourselves and others. No stories, no suffering. Stop narrating and enjoy the show.

(Taking a break from taking the piss.) Stories gon' tell. I think the main thing is just to pay attention. Stories come and go, and they're not very special. Much like you, they're not worth the effort of putting them down. (It was a short break.)

Yes, the key is to drop the identification with stories, which happens when one pays attention. Then it's no longer "me" narrating. It's more just the primate brain throwing a bunch of gibberish into consciousness, and I can take it or leave it. Kinda like your replies.

Looks delicious. Speaking of coffee, it just dawned on me that I haven't had one today, and within seconds it felt as if my brain spontaneously entered the fetal position. Was it unaware that my adenosine was running wild until now? Do I have to do all the work around here?
