If there is no me wanting something, then wanting dissolves into emptiness. If there is no me hating something, then hating dissolves into emptiness. The deluded definition of misfortune dissolves. By wishing you to be happy, everything becomes available to appreciate and share without the sticky consideration of identity. By wishing you to be free of pain, energy becomes available to help, liberated from the limiting considerations of identity-fixation. The awakening intention of wishing to help others protects the mind from self-centredness and the experience of dissatisfaction.
