Approximately, I read about how as a child you had went on a trip with family and the snow came while you got lost if I recall correctly - fortunately chanced upon a cave which was a decently fitting shelter while the snow ensued, the outside was snowing, yet within the cave-ish shelter it felt very cozy, so cozy that somehow or rather it felt safer being where the entrance was, as ironic as it was, where it was perhaps colder with the snow.<br /><br />I took buddhist triple gem refuge a while back, what was poignant about it all was that I had memberships in all kinds of entities or organisations along the way. Take as an example, I was in the national army before as a conscript, I also did my schools, as well as my offices. Whenever each of these organisations get too cozy as a refuge or a shelter, hanging around near the main entrances i.e. exits made more sense than staying too long in them.<br /><br />It came part and parcel of skeptical doubting.<br /><br />Maybe an old analogy by the Theravadin monk Ajahn Brahm made sense - "we love our suffering". We doubt, we also suffer, and we love our doubting minds and our suffering bodies. It's the very doubting minds and suffering bodies that make us who we apparently are.
