[:curiosity:] • An antonym for aversion • Allows for learning! • We often react to perceived-negative things (pain, jealousy) with aversion (make it stop!) rather than curiosity (what is causing this?) • This means we don't learn about it and cannot address it • If we react with curiosity and [unconditionally love](unconditional love) these perceived-negative things, we grant ourselves space to address them • Remember to love these elements even as we shed them! • This also means that everything negative may be seen as a gift, an opportunity for learning and growth
