Why we store painful events

People suffer because they try to control the outside world to fix the disturbances they carry inside. Fear and desire are natural emotions, but when we resist or cling to them and project them into the future, they distort perception and drive poor decisions. True wisdom comes from letting experiences pass through without leaving lasting impressions, allowing decisions to arise from clarity rather than from fear or desire.
