True Experience
Ego lets you experience the physical reality but through a filter - the filter of judgment. The judgment is based on the belief system and hence the experience is always tainted.
Judgment classifies any moment into pain or pleasure. The thought that somehow you can change your experience from the painful into pleasurable brings about suffering and that you can hang on to the pleasurable ones bring about addiction.
Pain becomes suffering as result of judgment. That somehow you can change the "now" is a root cause of aggravation leading to guilt, suffering, disappointment, fear and so on.
Judgment keeps your mind busy with the past and so you lose the "now" moment.
Not accepting what is happening in the "now" with thoughts of "what ifs", "should have" snowballs into aggravation.
Shoot for the pure experience of the reality. If you realize that the
present reality is inevitable and you can do nothing about it, then it might
help one to not judge and just let it all in.
The remedies, then are, stop judging and accept what is happening in the present moment.
Oh Wait, if you simply surrender to "now" and accept "now", that takes care of everything.

Incomplete is the new complete
The mind hijacks my thoughts promising closure on the other thoughts, and
convinces me that the other thoughts are of higher priority than the current one.
Why is closure important? Why do I go for symmetry? Why do I value completeness?
That must be the mind playing tricks on me. If every moment is precious, then everything as it is, in this moment should also be precious.
So I proclaim, Incomplete is the new complete.
The journey should be savored as much as being at the destination.
Getting there should be enjoyed as much as Being there.
Learning should be enjoyed as much as being Accomplished.
Growing up should be enjoyed as much as being Grown up.
Longing should be enjoyed as much as Having.
In the longing,
In the learning,
In the growing up,
In the journey
lies the
experience without which the end is meaningless.
