Whenever I feel I don’t get the deserved recognition for it, or when an undeserving person gets them I get a feel of anger or grief. If I go for a walk expecting some reward along the way, I am treating the walk as a means to the end which is the reward. As such, I am of the view that tranquility, this relaxed attitude of not worrying about things, consists in acceptance: I do stuff because I like them, because my natural inclinations favour them, and acknowledge that in a world of coincidences there is no grand design that is specific to me and, by extension, to each of us (cosmic self-centredness on a personalised basis).
