Vineeto I can now say that I have no more malice toward you. I am glad that you are carrying on Richard’s torch.
Hi James,
This is excellent and it looks like I received a new title next to my name 
So now that you succeeded in getting rid of an old objection by seeing that it is silly, you can use this same technique to put aside any objection that interfere with you enjoying and appreciating this moment of being alive as in –
[Richard]: Once the specific moment of ceasing to feel good is pin-pointed, and the silliness of having such an incident as that (no matter what it is) take away one’s enjoyment and appreciation of this only moment of being alive is seen for what it is(1)
(1)[Respondent]: Richard, how long do you think will it take before it becomes automatic to have the question running?
[Richard]: About as long as it takes to realise that feeling anything other than happy and harmless sucks … and sucks big-time at that. (link)
For instance, where you say –
[James]: Objections to becoming af (continued) :
I am too old now. Struggling with skeletal pain and low energy. My time has passed. [link].
In this instance, rather than continue to object to the pain, you realize that time is of the essence, hence it is even more important that you don’t waste this moment of being alive with feeling bad but recognize that this is silly. You proceed to actualize this insight and get back to enjoying and appreciating this moment and voilà you are back to feeling good.
You can also acknowledge and realize the fact that pain is part of being alive, especially when getting older. You take care with what is medically possible, but even more importantly, you stop objecting to having pain simply because it is useless and therefore silly to do so. You will also be surprised how much the feeling of pain is reduced when you no longer object to it. Miguel only recently confirmed this to you (link).
As a feeling being ‘Vineeto’ has experienced this time and time again and nowadays any pain that occurs is simply something going on in the background which does not interfere with thoroughly enjoying and appreciating being here.
It will take a commitment to continue feel good each moment again, in order to break the old and familiar habit of finding things to complain about and object to – human are creatures of habit and it will need some determination and perspicacity to break such habits. As Richard was sometimes fond of saying “illegitimi non carborundum” (link).
However, I am confident that with the awareness that time is of the essence you can succeed.
Cheers Vineeto
