Could you say that the way to live a good life is to stop running away?

When you stop running away from what you're feeling in the moment, what you're seeing in front of you, stop running away from your thoughts, stop running away from situations and suffering - It all seems to lead to the best life. It is also a quick insight which suggests that if you believe that mindfulness is about seeing what things are for the purpose of dissolving them and seeing beyond them (like me) then I think you got it wrong. It is to have them exactly like you are. If you feel angry then good, let the experience occur and be honest yourself with what you notice without trying to monitor anything. Just invite it into your experience. Same with emotions and everything. Basically, I think I'm talking about 'acceptance' (am I? If yes then I might be understanding it better). Anyways, just a nice insight I got after seeing the video Grasping The Illusory Nature Of Thought

Emotional Mastery in a nutshell.

Yes it's acceptance. But you can go even further and love it.
