For example if someone does something, it's just a happening, an event. If someone wronged me, it was just a passing that occurred, and I don't feel anger towards them, because what they simply happened, an event that came as passed. I suppose it's a view lacking free will, although that's rather arbitrary. It's just seeing your thoughts as things passing by, more than something I create. Even right now, typing this is just a passing event of my body and my fingers moving on the keyboard, and thoughts passing on by.

It's very calming. Does anyone else ever look at this view? Just curious.
