Following a lovely exchange with Zana Frood in this morning exploration of the Noble Eightfold Path, we ended up talking about understanding right view (the first thread of the eightfold weave) as a fitting understanding of how reality works (i.e. through constant impermanence/emergence). This understanding then allows us to stop faffing with all the constituent bits of our existence (form, feeling, perception, mental formations and consciousness = the aggregates in Buddhist jargon).

May I also suggest the wonderful British expression - "Oh, what a palava!" đ "Oh, what a palava" is a British English expression, meaning "a lot of unnecessary activity, excitement, or trouble, especially caused by something that is not important".Â
