Wanting positive experience is a negative experience; accepting negative experience is a positive experience. It’s what the philosopher Alan Watts used to refer to as “the backwards law”— the idea that the more you pursue feeling better all the time, the less satisfied you become, as pursuing something only reinforces the fact that you lack it in the first place. - The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck

From 'The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A Fuck'
Here's the thing that's wrong with all of the 'How To Be Happy' shit that's been shared eight million times on Facebook in the past few years - here's what nobody realises about all of this crap - The desire for more positive experience is itself a negative experience. And, paradoxically, the acceptance of ones' negative experience is itself a positive experience. This is a total mind fuck. So I'll give you a minute to in-pretzel your brain and read that again; Wanting a positive experience is a negative experience, accepting a negative experience is a positive experience. It's what the philosopher Alan Watts used to refer to as the 'backwards law'.

“When you try to stay on the surface of the water, you sink; but when you try to sink, you float’ and that ‘insecurity is the result of trying to be secure.” — Alan Watts I’ve been rereading some Alan Watts. If you don’t know who Alan Watts is, I suggest you read or listen to his many books or talks. One of his more famous thoughts is the “backwards law,” which is nicely summed up in the quote…
