The seeking creates the separation. The striving ensures the dissatisfaction. It splits the world apart, subject and object, me and that thing I want. Me and that thing I must avoid. The continual action of the mind makes the suffering and anxiety inevitable, it is a feature of the system.
Side note: I’ll start recording on the iPad instead going forward, the mic and camera on this old chromebook just not up to the task any longer.
