Without preferences

"The WAY is not difficult for someone without preferences."

What makes the journey difficult is the intrinsic tendency of our duelist minds to classify things, events, people as good and bad, desired and undesired, pleasant and unpleasant, and so on. Classification leads to comparison, comparison leads to dissatisfaction and hence results in unhappiness...
When we completely accept "what IS" as a reflection of a perfect mechanism, we perceive the unity beyond all the dualities and hence preferences lose their meanings and their importance in our lives.

Yes, it is very difficult not to act through attractions and aversions. It's easy to be loving to those that we have affinity for, much harder with those whom we don't find pleasing.
