I (hope to) understand the concept, that identification leads to suffering as we cling to these states. Identification also appears when we name things or feel part of these, when we label them and when we judge them and by sticking to these forms of identification we create a state within a fleeting moment hat we want to uphold which is not possible. (Forgive me, if this was not entirely precise, as English is not my primary language.)

My question, however, is - this does make a lot of sense in so many ways - but let‘s focus on experiencing a moment, like the air on your face, which might ultimately lead to a judgment of it being nice, that does not necessarily entail that I want to stick to this state (although I might realize a sudden disappointment when it‘s gone, but that I can monitor.) But doesn‘t the labelling of the state lead to a more intense experience of the state (though that might be the reason why it shouldn‘t be.)

My problem is that living in the „Here-and-now“ is easy to experience in a sensory experience, which in turn very often leads to a labelling because we remember this feeling and consider this feeling as good… which we then lose by thinking about it.

Hm. Did I just understand the reasoning behind it, while I was typing? Maybe someone can help me to find a bit more clarity in this. Thank you, and apologies - again - for some clumsiness in phrasing it.

I was kindly asked to rework my question as the intent - which wasn‘t clear to me from the beginning, that is why I asked the question - wasn‘t clear enough. I have now re-edited the question and thank my teacher in the comments for this exercise.

I understand that identification leads to suffering because we cling to states that are impermanent. Identification happens when we name things, feel part of them, label, or judge them. By doing so, we try to uphold a fleeting moment, which is impossible and leads to suffering.

However, I am curious about how this applies to experiencing a moment, like feeling the air on your face. This might lead to labeling the experience as "nice," which doesn’t necessarily mean I want to cling to this state, though I might feel a brief disappointment when it's gone.

Does labeling an experience intensify it, even though it might also lead to suffering by creating an attachment? Living in the "here-and-now" is easy during sensory experiences, but labeling these experiences as "good" or "bad" seems to pull us out of the present moment.

Am I understanding correctly that labeling our experiences can both enhance and diminish our perception of them? How can we experience the present moment fully without falling into the trap of labeling and attachment?
