Verse 2.14 of the Gita says:

O son of Kuntī, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.

I think it's pretty clear that people seek answers when they find themselves disturbed by distressing things in their life, but perhaps the key is to actually focus on equally not being disturbed by the transiently happy things in your life and instead see them as temporary like they are. I asked myself just now what impermanent things in my life now I might get distressed about, were they to disappear or change. Things that, in a way, I take for granted:

• Zhuoma
• The house. For example, if it were to burn down or get reclaimed by the government somehow (it works in mysterious ways)
• My bank account (one day suddenly empty)
• My freedom from jail
• My good health

I think I'm still not comfortable with the idea of dying either, though I'm much more accepting than when I was 14 and would slump onto the floor in the kitchen and sit and be depressed for 2 hours about dying. I'm sure there are others too. Since I don't have a salaried job, I don't have that to worry about.  =)

So if I'm right about this, the key is to not be disturbed that these things are all in states of happiness, because they all could change "in due course, like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons."
