I heard this in a conversation, didn’t want to forget it, so I decided to write it down somewhere so I wouldn’t forget it.
This looks like a good place…
What I heard was:
Improper Mental Engagement leads to an Afflicted Mental State.
An Afflicted Mental State leads to Non-Virtuous Intentional Action.
Non-Virtuous Intentional Actions lead to Painful Results.
Humans, we create our own suffering.
