Buddha teaches that there are root causes for all things. Everything exists to ones mind and how it exists is based, in part, by root causes. This lesson has taught me to take my self reflection to deeper levels. This has served me in a way that I can now see the emotional state that my behaviors are born out of. I can look at these states and see that a craving or the desire to act a certain way is simply because I'm feeling a negative emotion.

Today's episode begins talking about my realization with root causes but this is just the beginning as I better understand it for myself and find better ways to explain it.
