Just today I was going to work, and it was 1 degree below freezing, and I was wearing just a little less warm clothing than I would have preferred. I noticed an unease: a subtly urgent sense of wanting to get somewhere warm. But I was waiting for the train on a platform, with 10 minutes of waiting ahead and nowhere to go.
I realized that actually the cold wasn't terribly unpleasant in itself as a sensation, when you paid attention. It's nothing else than a pretty easily discernible sensation in different parts of the body. And, as the word "unease" came to mind, I realized that this is yet again the same old thing: the mind habitually creeps away from the 1st person present and starts craving what could be. Whispering like the snake: "Imagine how warm and cozy you could be right now, if you were somewhere else..."
Tempt me not, foul snake! 🐍
For when I came back to the first person present, I realized that nothing was actually wrong over here. It was all okay.
