Take the symbol of the lotus flower; the murky and muddy water is what is needed to produce the beautiful flower. Death brings life, all is beauty. Accept all with no preconceived ideas of what should be, and from there decide what is agony. Also, remember that infringements on free will are an illusion, since our higher self works out those 'deals' to get pain for else to help us grow. Attachment to anything beyond 'the now' breeds discontentment and agony.
