| If someone you love dies and you're sad then that's fine, being sad is completely appropriate. What you shouldn't do is tell stories about your sadness. Just feel the sadness without telling yourself how "heartbroken" or "devastated" you are. Just feel, and try to avoid labeling the feelings because labeling leads you straight into story telling. | If someone you love dies and you're sad then that's fine, being sad is completely appropriate.

| The same applies when you fall in love. Just enjoy the feelings without labeling or telling yourself stories about them. See, if you tell stories you'll be all "this is great" and "this is going to last forever" and that's just silly talk because we know that nothing is [[impermanence|permanent]], we just don't like to think about that. But Buddhism is all about thinking about that. | The same applies when you fall in love. Just enjoy the feelings without labeling or telling yourself stories about them.
