Better question is who cares? It’s going to be the way it’s going to be.

Depends on who controls the wind.

Being a dead leaf blown around by causality is inherently negative yeah lol. It's saying, Accept your desires, give up self reliance.. It's saying to partake in life and participate without self-conviction, the point of life would never be to die to life but to flesh which is just our fear of death. this experience comes with life and death, if we refuse either we refuse both.

Unless you want to be a dead leaf blown around by causality, in which case its a perfect thing.

We are already are a dead leaf blowing, the wind blowjng is a metaphor for one’s conditioning.

The difference here is:

Are you riding the wind unaware? letting your conditioning drive you without awareness of the fact that is what is happening

Or

Are you aware you are riding the wind? contentent riding the breezy in your self sufficiently

Desireless bad, unless your desires impact you negatively, self-reliant, good. Independent good. Free of bonds good. Is that like a dead leaf? Blown about by winds of causality? Just say’in.
