Reminded me of a passage from Sapiens on Buddah.

"...Gautama Buddah found that there was a way to exit this vicious circle.

If, when the mind experiences something pleasant or unpleasant, it simply understand things as they are, then there is no suffering.

If you experience sadness without craving that the sadness go away, you continue to feel sadness but you do not suffer from it. There can actually be richness in the sadness.

If you experience joy without craving that the joy linger and intensify, you continue to feel joy without losing your peace of mind.”
