Hey Orn, Just a question for you. Not that you need answer. From your posting, "I noticed very little of that clinging in myself. I attribute that to the sheer number of positive experiences, and the confidence it gives me to let go of Experience X in full knowledge that there’ll be another pleasant Experience Y coming along very soon."
So, if you had very, very few positive experiences, could you still have "very little of that clinging" in yourself? When things are in abundance, it is very easy to let go of them, for as you've stated, you know another will be along very soon. But, when things are rare, it is much harder to let go. The principle of letting go should be there no matter the abundance, which is why I ask the question (not just to you but I've asked it of myself, too).
