Oh OK - got it. Finding false fulfillment in the manipulation of external events to fix "the problem", instead of finding a more permanent solution within. This Buddhist monk (Tsetan somebody) was talking about that on one of the BATGAP interviews, and how with the addition of love, anger and duality are conquered. That was the gist. Thanks! :-)
