"WE DON'T DESERVE RESOLUTION"

"As human beings, not only do we seek resolution
but we also feel that we deserve resolution.
However, not only do we not deserve resolution,
we suffer from resolution.
We don't deserve resolution; we deserve something better than that.
We deserve our birthright, which is the middle way;
an open state of mind that can relax with paradox and ambiguity.
To the degree that we've been avoiding uncertainty,
we're naturally going to have withdrawal symptoms--
withdrawal from always thinking that there's a problem
and that someone, somewhere needs to fix it".
