Igniting Anger
“They spoke ill of me.”
“They hurt my feelings.”
“They went behind my back.”
“They took away my benefits.”
If you ignite your anger with thoughts like these and keep replaying them in your mind, the resentment will never settle, and every time you recall it, it will flare up again, leaving you without peace.
Escaping the Cycle of Anger
“They criticized me.”
“They crushed my feelings.”
“They defeated me.”
“They stole my idea.”
If you stop igniting your anger with such thoughts and break free from the repetition of emotions, the resentment will quietly subside, and your heart will finally find peace.
Isn’t there a time when your ears just remember things on their own?
Even if you’ve let go of something emotionally, sometimes your ears still hold on, and suddenly, there’s a grand speech echoing inside your head, with your ears at the center. It’s often the case that, while your eyes, nose, and skin are just observing quietly from the audience, the ears take center stage. The others—eyes, nose, and skin—are wondering why the ears are so prominent. The ears seem to want to be heard since they’re always so busy listening, but the other senses are also working, and there’s this atmosphere where no one feels they can really speak up.
To all the senses: the thing that should protect us is like a thin layer of plastic wrap, a sort of protective film over us.

Thinking of such surreal ideas brings inspiration for a new piece of art.
When thoughts like these pop into your head, if you look back at what you were doing at that time, you’ll probably realize that it wasn’t anything particularly significant.
But even if it’s not significant, if it’s important to you, then it’s worth cherishing. :)
