Illusion

[Loreena]

This illusion is created by society making us believe that whatever superficial challenges we see like the chase for success and money even at the detriment of one's health are real challenges. But the truth is these are created and they are false challenges and our true or real challenges are something else that are deeply hidden behind the mask of these false challenges

[cirkussmile]

Thoughts comes and goes, conspiracies theories too but the only conclusion I can come up with is that there's only one challenge: the mind of one self. 

I can no longer find another reason.

[Nahm]

Don't pursue superficial challenges by focusing elsewhere...

OR

What are the real challenges behind the mask?

 

 

Personally, I have found that those in the superficial challenges don't accelerate or make as much money as the people pursuing the challenges within. 

It's as simple as - which one would people naturally follow?

@Bebop oh, thank you so much. I didn't know all this. Thank you for sharing it.

@LoreenaYeah its pretty interesting, definitely helped me understand why people act the way they do. It's quite fascinating how deceptive our minds can be if we aren't being aware of it.

My prefered word is goals 

Every challenge / goal is self created. And all are related to maslows pyramid.

We all want money for set reasons (confort, security, food, etc).

We however often create additional crap to justify behavior. Our egos shouldnt be hurt .

And yes often we let society dictate to us what we should believe, and this cause even more confused goals.

We need to be honest with ourself. Say f-off to the ego and set goals that we understand. And adapt when we feel the need. (We are just writing software in that sense)

society isn't a conscious organism that makes decisions. it is like the weather. the weather doesn't make us wear an umbrella, it doesn't even make us get wet. we do so. 

 

it is true that there are many traps in mainstream culture... scrap that, all culture. all things can trick us really, this is part of our nature.

 

really there is no illusion at all... if there is something there than it can't be called "false" and anyway calling it false to begin with is its own illusion. it's just perspective. it ain't false if you hold it. it ain't any more an illusion than every other perspective... and good is just a matter of preference.

 

are there particular things you have on your mind?
