Rumination

There is the past, which nobody can deny – it is there, solid, brutalising, crippling, destroying the mind. That is a fact, outwardly and psychologically. See this fact without any condemnation or judgment; merely see the fact of what the past is.

Prim No. 7

Stoic and Little Hedonistic

The attitude of earning merit through work leaves little room for fun and pleasure, dimensions with which this character is unfamiliar. Pleasure is felt by always finding satisfaction in doing, but directed towards something (a goal) or someone. It is difficult to be aware of what increases the happiness of one without including the other, in fact this character is not clear about what makes her feel good. Contact with nature, silence, being with oneself, listening to music, dedicating time to oneself, are the possibilities that one sometimes allows oneself and that are closest to an idea of pleasure, but, on the other hand, the pleasure of endless movement, of spontaneity, and freedom of action and speech is hindered.
