What you opposed when young is also a part of you. Your reactions to what you opposed formed new beliefs and actions, which eventually also fell short. Your old beliefs were inadequate, your new ones are not fully right, so you remain in no man’s land. What you thought was the answer wasn’t, so you still have to search and look for what makes sense, but it is no longer clear. In this way we evolve into a bigger view of life. Our understanding and acceptance are forced to enlarge.

Maybe everything that comes to us in life, only comes to us in fleeting moments. We usually want more or less of whatever comes our way. We seldom are satisfied to just live in what each moment gives us....whether it be a good moment or a difficult one. We want to grab and hold onto the good times, and get rid of the times we find painful or difficult.
As you write of feeling at peace or having contentment for a moment.--that is a gift and should be embraced. If we also embrace the difficult times and determine that we can endure whatever comes our way just for a moment---it too will pass.
