Taoism has a concept called 'mutual arising'...the good always comes with the bad....dualities....happiness and sadness...
The point is that we can't wish away a 'flat tire'...or curse away the present moment. The present moment is what it is...
Why suffer the second arrow? Why shoot the second arrow?
"Once you realize there is no alternative to the present moment, you are on your way to Buddhahood." ...Reb Anderson
