The Acceptance of Difficulty

A couple of comments:  re “humans addicted to struggle”.  I also feel that we in the western world are addicted to all things going our way, that we should always be happy, be fulfilled--if not we often try to escape, resort to alcohol or take a pill. 

I’ve had a big learning in this area and have come to accept that parts of life are difficult (what we take on as alive human beings). The acceptance of difficulty, defeat and pain in our lives plus the awareness that we have a choice- either to indulge in the negativity or to let go, accept and be proactive and realize that this too shall pass seems to eliminate the struggle aspect.  Perhaps this is when sweet vulnerability comes in.  I love your imagery of babes in water...no struggle, no splashing around, just perfect balance in their environment.
