You know the idea of not resisting the current moment. That whatever it is is what you deal with and accept, and if it's terrible that's cool too. Sort of. That you care enough about the world to work from where you are with what you've got. And if you don't want to accept it, then that's something to be accepted as well. Which maybe means for negative mental movements we don't have to be too involved in creating a story from them. Accepting in life that this is as good as it gets. What about that? I can think of a few differences I'd like. I keep coming back to that thing Jesus said. 'To him who has shall more be given, but to him that has not, even that which he has shall be taken away.' Fairness doesn't come into it.
