If you think about it, it's a pretty good question. We've all had that experience when a friend starts really going on about something horrible going on in their life, and you listen synmpathetically -- and realize it's not really all that terrible. You can think of a dozen other horrible things that happened to friends, hell, some of them happened to *this* guy, and he never made that big a fuss about it. It makes you ask.

What exactly *is* trouble, anyway?

An answer comes to mind, that scene in The Matrix where Morpheus has been trying to teach Neo about why the Matrix works. He finally shows him: leans into the camera, and says "Free. Your. Mind". And he leaps from the roof, his trajectory carrying him to the roof across the street.

The image stays with me because I can see he wants this to get through. If nothing else gets through, he wants *this* to. He's been trying to teach, to show - to get this one concept through, because once that one comes through, eveything else will follow. Maybe becuase I sympathized with that the solution fascinates me. What would happen if we could Change Our Minds?
What would I do?

It's a little like asking what would you do if you won the lottery?

What would *I* do?

I'd stop being unhappy. I'd stop thinking of the things my body really loves & thrives on as things I hate. stuff like that.
