What if you discovered that a part of your brain doesn’t like when your friends are happier than you?
What if you discovered a part of your brain just wants to wirehead itself?
What if you discovered a part of your brain that likes to come up with ideas about how horrible you are and then meditation only causes you to pay attention to those thoughts?
I have parts of my brain that are like that, and I suspect that most people do. But if “meditation only causes you to pay attention to those thoughts” then you are probably doing it wrong.
