The Unending Cold

One of my teachers likes to use the way we react to the weather as a teaching tool and to show us how we add onto the suffering by developing aversion to an unpleasant feeling. And, although I appreciate this teaching on dukkha and vedana I feel that it has gone slightly over my head for I am not finding the release through seeing I had hoped for. But, then again, I am holding on so tightly to the idea of comfort and pushing away the cold so much that there it is not too surprising that insight has not yet arise. How could it in the midst of greed and hatred?
