Thank you Viru10 and hello. This sounds very reasonable to me. Once a lover of mine told me I was unable to discern between whiming and longing. It was 13 years ago and his words still resonate... I don't know if he was capable of that anyway but gave me a good lesson.Really interesting question! It seems that 58.4 is quite apt for this question. Mental health is about negotiating between differing pleasures. Worrying and anxiety about some future outcome can somehow feel 'good' or at least satisfying, or provide some degree of control. Perhaps even 'pleasureful'. But it ruins your state of mind in the moment, so it can be considered a lesser indulgence.
I see 58.4 here calling you to discern between what is an anxiety or mental construct and what is truly joyful. In my own life I've found this to mean delaying gratification to experience something more wholesome later.
That's what mental health is perhaps, discerning between empty forms of joy and greater forms of joy. This is a line from Buddhism I've heard (paraphrased): The lie is sweet now and bitter later, the truth is bitter now and sweet forever.
Hi Rosada! Thank you for reaching my call. I can identify with all the turmoil of doubts and should I/shouldn't I. I guess I am often quite afraid to get hurt, by men but not only. Sometimes I feel I don't yet have a clear identity and I am in my fourties. Sometimes I am good at that, Sometimes it is scary.58.4 - 60
"Apertura de regateo, aún no en reposo
poner límites a la aflicción trae regocijo.
-Hilary
Esta charla de regatear, volver y fuerte, ¿debería o no? y saber cuándo poner límites
me recuerda el consejo de salud mental en la canción The Gambler:
"Tienes que saber cuándo sostener 'em
Saber cuándo doblarlos
Saber cuándo alejarse
Y saber cuándo correr.
Nunca cuentas tu dinero
Mientras estás sentado en la mesa.
Habrá tiempo suficiente para contar
You nailed it! I had the intuition of balance (mental health) on the reading but couldn't condense it. Some ups, some downs, inhale, exhale. I need to remember that all the time. I need to go back to meditation plus not get to dogmatic about it.Not meaning to oversimplify it, but the distinction between mental health and mental dis-order: When you have a problem and you are sub-functioning, and you want to get back to a baseline, your mental functioning is said to be dis-ordered. However, If you’re at a baseline, your mental functioning is basically healthy. The Tri-gram Tui deals with Joy in the positive, and anxiety in the negative. Anxiety is a feeling of uneasiness about things that haven't happened yet (Future). The Trigram Kan is Depression in the negative. Depression is a feeling of hopelessness about things that have already happened (past). The significance of the 4th line stressed indicates in this situation that finding the balance between too much Tui and too much Kan is the key to your mental health (Balance & Stability).
