A situation can be good or bad. It doesn't matter, as long as it's a situation.
Without a situation to latch onto, the ego will die.
If there is one thing the ego does not want to do, it's to die!
It will fight tooth and nail to survive.
So, if one problem is resolved, my ego will create another problem.
The thing is, though, that as long as I identify exclusively with my ego (my personality), I am shut off from my heart (Consciousness).
I encountered this idea in "The Ease of Being" by Jean Klein.
Since then I've been noticing situations in my life and acknowledging them as situations. Just being aware that they may be playing this role -- that is, feeding my ego -- seems helpful in detaching from them to some extent. I am just that little bit more aware that I don't need them.
