As long as he hopes against hope that his life should be free from painful feelings, he hopes for an illusion. And deep down he knows it, yet clings to it. Hence he is afraid and feels shaky and inadequate. But when his own feelings can be experienced, no matter what they are, he becomes automatically secure, unafraid, and therefore relaxed. And this state of being relaxed and loose in mind, will, feeling, and body is the indispensable prerequisite for pleasure and thus for fulfillment.
