We give an event value by judging it as terrible for example, and forget that the event itself is neither good nor bad; it is empty and carries no meaning at all. We give it the meaning by judging, resenting, and wanting it to be different. This causes the emotional suffering. If you could let it be as it is, if you were able not to judge it good or bad but take it as it is (neutral, indifferent), then you wouldn’t have a troubled mind.
