The problem is, LIFE AS WE ORDINARILY SEE IT IS JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE!Child sexual abuse, famine, holocausts, and other such unspeakable stuff, how can we choose that?

Who does not get upset, however momentarily, at a traffic ticket? But if we do not accept life -- all that is, the good, the bad, and ugly -- we are left in conflict with it. Battling with life, as we must given our normally felt vision, we lose, of course, ironically ensuring suffering.
