You are absolutely right. And keeping this state of mind is sometimes difficult, so it's like a discipline to keep in mind. Above all, don't listen to or read the official news because it can become an addiction, the suffering and fear in us need it, like a drug. The official news, especially on TV but also in the newspapers, is made by sadists to heighten anxiety.
Of course there is suffering, but because we know that it is part of our evolution as a person, it comes from knowledge. We're really being asked to work like heroes, like knights. It's not easy to overcome our fears, even our terror, but it's a job we have to do.
And I even think it's necessary to recognise this fear in ourselves but as an accomplice, and not to offer it as food. The knight who went into battle was afraid too, no doubt.
