You may have missed that seeing a hand full of good cards is also bad. Hopefully me showing my hand on the previous page proves that I rarely bluff. If we are always seeking “good” hands filled with “good” life cards, then we will always be caught in suffering when the inevitable “bad” life cards are dealt to you. You are grasping at cards that are impermanent, ever changing and even can be bad depending on who you are sitting next too (they may have a “better” hand).

Instead of seeing them as good, see them with neutrality. See them as an opportunity to not develop an attachment to an impermanent circumstance that will thirst desire and craving for the next win. This higher perspective, or right view of instructions, will allow for a consistent equal/neutral win. One that is not impacted by life’s instability and randomness, the producer of suffering.
