Being attentive to your surroundings and aware of your environment is a good thing—knowing what’s around you keeps you safe. Being alert as you walk home after dark may help you avoid danger. Being wary of undercooked or unhygienic food may keep you from getting sick. Being mindful of rattlesnakes along the trail may help you avoid snakebites. In all of these situations, being vigilant is adaptive and advantageous.

For most of our lives, we believe that the causes of suffering are outside of ourselves. To us, bad circumstances = suffering. Starting from the time we are young, this is how it appears to be. A friend calls us a mean name and causes our suffering. We fail to get the job we want, which causes our suffering. We recognize the toxicity of an important relationship and believe this person has caused our suffering.
