Part VII: ConflictThe fears you hold regarding the loss of your naturalness, your bliss, and the false conceptions you have of what you must do to recover this happiness, causes conflicts for you and others in the world. When you are blinded by your delusions about the "conditions" you must force on life in order to find satisfaction, you will put yourself in opposition with those who you imagine are responsible for being unable to achieve these conditions. And if you are caught up in your delusions, you will always find others to blame for your "failure" to find the imagined source of your happiness: you will look for anyone else to blame or accuse. In particular, if you see others experiencing happiness that you feel is denied to you, there will be resentment, and society will encourage you to express this same resentment to anyone who chooses to live differently, who does not conform with the same social expectations for the same promises of reward that you conform to. |
