I have gained a lot of emotion handling skill. This lets me be calmer and kinder to my wife and my son and other people. It also means I suffer less because I can more easily detect negative thoughts and feelings and (to some extent) disengage from them rather than feed them.
I am also slowly getting better at actively cultivating positive/happy/pleasant mind states.
You meditated for 700 hours and don’t feel like you gained any ‘insight’! That is a lot of hours. Why did you keep going?
Good question!
