Two arrows could exist in life

"For millennia, Eastern wisdom traditions have taught practitioners to be wary of the “second arrow.” The first arrow is an event or circumstance that you cannot control; the second arrow is your refusal to accept that event or circumstance and see it clearly for what it is. These traditions teach that the second arrow, the one we fire at ourselves, almost always hurts worse than the first...When I catch myself firing second arrows and resisting reality, I repeat the mantra: This is what is happening right now, I’m doing the best I can."
