Most people play illusion

Illusion is concealment. Why people have to conceal things?

In today's advanced society what really matters is a convincingly believable theatrical performance. What people seek to get away with is wrongs, which they can justify. Within the established legal and societal standards some wrongs can be concealed and skillfully veiled in silk of illusion by a well versed in the letter of the law lawyer. But what is lacking is the heart of the matter, which has been replaced with a legalistic approach to the matter of right-doing. What might be taken as just being wrong can evolve to being more than that; it can be criminal. It is all a matter of interpretation, but interpretation comes from justification and justification comes from examination of motives. If motives stem from being ambitious, which is often the root cause for being malicious, then the last behavior may lead to an injury, which actually is the wrongdoing; can this wrongdoing be correctly interpreted by anyone else but the one experiencing it?  

Discourse on the subject of wrongs

▪ Wrong is an injury

▪ Wrong can be intentional or unintentional

▪ The worse kind of injury is one that causes death for which there is no remedy

▪ For every wrong there is a remedy called remorse, which leads to a permanent amendment of the old evil ways with the exception of an intentional death

▪ There are degrees of wrongs that meet appropriate penalties therefore the understanding of human psyche may lead to an extension of leniency, which is solely based on signs of individual willingness to change

▪ All people have the ability to change their will by training it until it bents to the lofty and noble aspirations they have decided to pursue

▪ Noble and lofty aspirations are located within every human soul, but why aren't they readily chosen?

▪ In today's materialistic society noble and lofty aspirations are discounted as unprofitable and are cast aside as useless

▪ It is assumed that what the human being needs is just money

▪ The love of money is the root of all evil

Wrongs that people inflict upon each other are in the name of:

▪ Self-Importance

▪ Search for glory

▪ Love of self

▪ Love of money

▪ Desire for power

▪ Control obsession

▪ Endless pursuit to gratify the ego

The drive for money, dominance and fame blinds for as it is being repetitiously sought after it begins to take root and then it seeks to eliminate - in the first phase - any potential threat, and in the second phase it seeks to destroy all sorts of threats, which are viewed as obstacles. The condition usually worsens when anything, or anyone who might appear as someone hampering one's virtual success comes to fore; creation of foes is its natural result.

         The thought of having enemies and the experience itself is most unpleasant, so one begins to pacify the pain, which was self-inflicted in the first place, but not admitted. The narcotic-like induced visions of grandeur are almost impossible to abandon for they provide too many pleasures to part with, yet they are the root cause for the gradual decline. Since they can't be forsaken without the awful feeling of disillusionment one must create a philosophy of life in order to keep any adverse mood-swings at bay. People go through life, explaining their setbacks and pain with folk philosophies, foreign religious beliefs or by creating their own theories about the meaning of life; their clinched fists hold nothing more than a bunch of question marks they've garnered from the unbroken chain of self-justifications.

Relationships

Those who have money - control, those who do not - are being controlled therefore the dream of having money is the predominant one.

         It is getting more difficult to make money; one must stoop down to all sorts of shady schemes and join a ring of shenanigans in order to take forward towards the set out goal. Even if one is honest and kind-hearted, even compassionate, he or she would have to cross some lines in order to grab a position from which a successful carrier can be launched.

         Once a road to success is taken navigation skills must be learnt for before one can enter the sought after door one will come in contact with the so called important door openers who expect to be served and kissed up to. One's pride will have to be stretched, behavior and communication skills will be definitely tested and one will have to sacrifice some lofty principles on the altar of success.

         Any dream is good, but it is just a dream; it is not yet tangible; it is still in the future, and that's what makes it so enticing and most appealing.

Compassion

Compassion is taken as something that retards one's progress on the self-conceived path to glory and financial greatness.

         The drive for approval and praise is addictive enough to be worn like a pair of sunglasses and to part with these is indeed very difficult, if not at all impossible.
