Acceptance

We all go through bad moods from time to time. It's part of our conditioning in cyclic existence. One of the main things that's going on when we're in a bad mood is that we want things to be different from the way they are.

Things are one way and our mind is saying, "Sorry, that's not acceptable. Things have to be another way, because I want them to be another way." This not accepting what's happening right now causes us so much misery and grief. No matter how much we sit in our bad mood and complain about how things are, things are the way they are, and what's happening is already happening.
