“The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but thought about it. Be aware of the thoughts you are thinking. Separate them from the situation, which is always neutral. It is as it is.” Eckhart Tolle
Deep Thoughts
Photography OCD
A somewhat healthy obsession with photography
Love this shot.

Thanks Natalie. I just pulled into this farmers driveway and walked over to the barn. Where else can you do that!

Thanks Cee, they look at the other horses pulling buggies when they go by.

I love the composition here. It’s almost surreal. It looks like the horse slipped his head through black curtains, while looking out of a picture frame

Yes, of course, of course it was all carefully planned.

Sometimes it’s ok to separate, sometimes it’s okay to live an unhappiness through. Imho, of course.
P.S. Horses look always so sad.

Yes, but I think what he’s saying is that good and bad are all thoughts and therefore not real. Just like the self its an illusion that we believe to give us an identity. Basically young lady, nothing is real. On a lighter side, I used to think that horses look sad but now I think they look dignified and regal. And this is the first time I’ve ever used the words therefore and regal in the same paragraph. 😉

I understand but I think thoughts are somehow real because they cause real feelings. And maybe it’s good to separate but it’s a thing for buddhists maybe 🙂 All in all it’s just my thought 🙂

Feelings and emotions are also thoughts. Ultimately nothing is real because its constantly changing, every minute, every second everything is completely different even though it seems the same.
