There's a myth or a hope that once you accept your own condition in this world, things will get much better. It's definitely true, but shortcomings still keep coming. Because person/external world interaction is dynamic as the references one uses to evaluate her own condition. Thus, despite of living better on average, times of recurrent crisis still take place. Then there's a large temptation to relapse into old thought and response patterns. Resistance has to be active and must be in fact constant. For some reason the mind resembles stones being eroded by water. After a while, all water will run through the same paths over and over. It's tough but necessary to actively divert thoughts to a desired and healthier path as many times as we have the ability to in order to reverse damaging patterns. And at least in my experience, meditation is the only reliable tool to promote that change.
