I would argue that one human
characteristic is at the basis of most sufferings we inflict to each of us and
to each other. This characteristic is our unaware obsession for “Easy and quick gratification”.
It drives us to false
entitlement, eating damaging food, feed our lust for glamour, our need to
surround ourselves with carbon copies of ourself, our greed for money and power, our disregard of environmental sustainability, justify violence, and the use
of pretension and lies. This in return, makes us unable to perceive lies and
deceit coming from others (the fish is unaware of the nature of water), as we
are ourselves a source of lies and deception.
This is unfortunately our recent
actual worldly trend, and as a mass phenomenon, with our actual technical
means, it is a recipe for more global suffering or crudely put, for the
eradication of humanity as we know it.
Enabling evolution instead of
revolution is an individual and collective work of patience and
determination, it is a labor of love and of true strength (strength nowadays
need to be defined because of the false appropriation of the word by
pro-authoritarians who see violence as strength while it is a disguised weakness),
and involves the continuous exploration of the meaning of our own responsibilities
and intended legacy.
