If someone appears to have everything sorted, always be happy, not have to contend with the ups and downs of life, this to me seems somewhat unreal, inauthentic.
Either we are projecting our ideal onto them or they are putting up a front, only showing the good stuff, or avoiding their emotional landscape through suppression, repression or escapism.
It is not possible to be human and not have difficult emotions.
No matter how much peace and calm we might in time come to find on our journey, it is not without having deeply allowed and been with all range of emotional experiences.
To be free is to be able to see and include all aspects of oneself without judgement, aversion or grasping.
