These are simply language games, not interpretation, notice each word have a certain meaning , a certain "way you're supposed to feel" attached to it. This can corrupt the interpretation, but here, it's used deliberately to point to a folly. For example, good and bad, there's no inherent meaning to these on this context, but humans are gullible enough to assume meaning. Same with the word selfish, easy to assume the quote is about a person or yourself, while forgetting the collective self: God, which is everything, and all creation and destruction holds no inherent meaning.

Not really. Re read it. You have not let a single bad thing happen in the universe because you're that selfish, you love it so much. So, there's no bad thing happening in the world? I'd say this question does not belong in this context. The context of the quote is different.

This question is like, is solipsism True in the sense that only the observer is True, or is the observed also True? The mistake we often make in solipsism is over simplification and assumptions. It's fine to not know stuff. And best to admit it. My little experience says, the observer and the observed is one. Are we imagining the self too? Just like we imagined the world around us? So, is everyone just a figment of imagination, including oneself? If we follow down this path, we come to a point where self is imagined, so, that makes the outside world just as real as the self, or you could say only as real as the self. Imagination of your "self" and the world is not a negative thing here, this is a tool for realizing the oneness. So yeah, this solves the mystery why many get suicidal after learning about solipsism. They just believe something someone said about it and mistake it like, ah the whole world is false, I'm in a simulation, I have to escape, I'm trapped, death is the only way out, and loads of bullshit like this.

It's not Trump's fault. It doesn't matter what amusing circus is being done on a weak foundation. A collapse is inevitable. And it's the people who end up suffering, just because they're born in a certain era, in a certain region. Collective Karma; Collective Action.

"we"

What good does it do even if it's actually true? Does that make immigrants evil?

Consequences of generational racism. Just few hundred years ago, these nations have meddled with so many millions of life in inhumane ways. No, it's not nations, it's people fighting against people, until both got tired and decided to settle it with compromises on the losing side. We were dumb, much dumber than we are now. There's no point in taking sides. If one commits a crime, it's because his environment failed him, it's not because of his race, even if it's a race, it's a structural problem, not a DNA problem.

yes, to the extend of how much fantasy one have to inherit for their survival.

What do you think changed humans from what they were 2000 years ago? It's this very same effort you see here. The effort to do better.

What do you expect when the game is rigged?

It's one of the phases, yes. Don't get too attached to one or the other. If you people think you must shoot, then shoot you must. Just asking, do you seriously see no consequence to it? That's the exact problem, if enough people's worldview changes, "it's a really inefficient way to live like this on earth, I have to do my part and at least see things for what they are. And not have my worldviews built out of fantasies.", there won't be anyone left to do this dirty work, and we won't even need to do this. This is not a matter of spiritual "hobby" thinking; your whole life has to reflect it. And don't worry, most won't go through this trouble, current systems will make sure they have no energy left for independent thought, and much less adopt a worldview which will make living harder.

"I am to lazy to think by myself, and what do you expect, I'd read these long para to upgrade my sense making? I'm happy where I am, being what I am"

You should be joking. A country is the very definition of division. You don't see that?

To Krishna all humans are one and equal. Killing a fly is no different from killing any human. Is that how you live? And don't invent false contexts. Why are the refugees coming over? Their home is in a bad state, what has caused it? Because humans aren't united yet. Don't throw blame game, and blaming countries, governments... These systems are inefficient by design. What else do you expect when we built and stayed with these systems?For one, the then existing systems as a whole couldn't tolerate anything better. Times are changing. Each and every one of us is responsible.

No

How hard is to to see things as they are? Don't make excuses to corrode your vision.

How hard is it for you to accept this is a structural problem? Complacency, and acceptance of countries as norm. Countries, borders, military, govt.. all are just one phase. The things we do to ignore what's right infront of us.

Don't worry, we have infinite number of isolation chambers in here. We treat violent people gently.

There's a lot of room in my apartment. Just pay the rent. If you're a refugee. You're welcome though.

Come to the woods, find an empty spot. There's enough for everyone.

Another band of monkeys who think they can shoot other monkeys. Fuck the borders.

The more closer you're to life, the more meaningless the outside world and it's drama. The thought that there's meaning somewhere out there is just your fantasy. Fantasy is the foundation of survival.

I've been meaning to highlight the best of all stages. Good start.

Comparison is fine. But introduce as many parameters as you can. It becomes a lot of mental work to keep it up. The goal is to compare until you exhaust the imbalance. If you're using Instagram to compare, spend atleast 3 minutes on every post, with intense attention. And don't make assumptions, only heed to things you know about them, actually know. So, why are you worrying your mind about things you don't know? Do you even know they exist? for sure? It takes some awakening to know everyone and everything is one and equal. Nobody is higher than you, nobody is lower than you.
