Not to get stuck inside the tent is the key.
A way of doing this is like Fraxx points out to shift your focus and go outside where the sun is shining.
Or do you want to be a hero and fight the beast? How?
Is that even your purpose...? What is your purpose? Is there a purpose at all?
Wise men have said: Know thyself.
Start with that and the rest will surely make sense.
A saint called John Climacus who I enjoyed reading many years ago was asked a question:
- What is the greatest of the virtues?
His reply was:
- Humility.
I have found his answer to be true.

Wise words. And it's true in even more than one sense, since humility is not only humbleness but also the (in my own case only relative) lack of material needs. I experience that as very liberating again and again.

Guess what he considered the greatest vice and the opposite of humility?
