Compared to other critters like foals the human infant is relatively helpless. Foals can stand up and start moving soon after birth. It was this kind of thing that I meant by having few instincts.

“people have fewer instincts than animals”. hmmm. or is it that human animals superimpose this funny thing called “reason” on their still very strong instincts? how we interact is mostly driven by emotions, isn’t it? but then our emotionality is driven by what we learn. geesh, that pesky nurture/nature thing again!

Hi Evan — I find at this point that I welcome the challenge of accepting frustration, of keeping my breathing going and keeping my attention focused on the frustrated area of my body. Staying with that sensation, rather than seeking something to make it go away, has been such a rewarding practice.
