I know it may seem like a silly question. But more and more I am starting to see that reality is harsh, and I've been trying to come to terms with the injustice in the world, knowing that in my heart there is no higher being in the end to "set things right". If there is a god, I don't believe in the parental figure type of god. But I digress. So I was starting to get down on life thinking so much of this, but my boyfriend's mother sent us a meditation CD, and I popped it in and found myself meditating for almost a half hour straight. I felt as though a weight had been lifted, and it really has helped put my mind at ease. Why is this? Why does it make things not seem so bad to me?
