Inner Smile vs Naturalness

In many traditions there is the idea that you should develop Inner Smile or Inner Compassion and send love to the world and so on.

But is this a good practice ?

This morning I was sitting and simply allow sadness / anger / depression to be, to try to merge with it somehow.   Allow it to marinate in your bones, or rain inside, let the sadness rain into your bloodstream.

And I felt whole, and silent.

No judgement no labels no fixing no trying …. just merging with the rain of my being.

And it seems like humans are always trying to do something especially something “good”.

But they infrequently seek their own self.
To know themselves, feel themselves.
They have lost the taste of it.

And if you are whole, what more can you want ?
All wanting comes from being distant to oneself.
People want to “be healthy” “be happy” “be taoist” …
Another addition to their fiction.
