Pathetic Mind

Oh, how weak is my mind??

Yesterday I was unhappy because Arsenal did not win. Today I am happy because India beat Australia. How pathetic is that? Why do I let events that I have NO control over dictate my happiness?

The human mind is a terribly feeble thing.

I would like to regain control over my mind, but what does that require? Long spells of meditation when I don't worry about mundane things, like paying the bills or children screaming in my face?? It's a nice idea, but I just don't think it's practical right now. Like a difficult math problem, it requires serious study and concentration.
