In some cases, fear is the driving force of the human species, in others it is a blocking factor. Besides it, another energy has a similar effect on man, and that is greed. Greed is the desire of man to constantly increase his possessions, no matter how much he already has. It was the necessary evil of Egoland, which showed its very unattractive image.
Greed as a trigger sometimes plays a positive role, as incredible as it may sound. Its good side is new and more advanced inventions and products that make people's lives easier on a physical level. The disadvantage is the same new and more advanced products, which, together with their income, only increase the greed for even newer and more advanced inventions and products, as well as for even higher incomes.
And yet, greed is a transient state. Having more, more than those with whom you are fighting for power, can sometimes be boring too. One morning you will wake up nervous, grumpy, with some chronic illness that at that very moment decided to remind you of its presence, and tired of the senseless race, tired of everything, you say: “Enough!”
Enough of competition, enough of accumulating the necessary and unnecessary, enough of courtship and the charm of the world, enough... oh, enough of things that are not you, but the imposed model of society. You are tired of pretending, and also of playing a role, yours and someone else’s.
And as for the miracle, having thrown off the burden of society that has been on your back all your life, you already feel better, because for the first time you feel that you are your own. For the first time you notice children that playing hide and seek, you see mothers with bags, teenagers on roller skates, pensioners on benches in front of the building and you wonder where your own place is in this order?
Who are you really?
If someone were to destroy the pyramid of world power overnight, what would happen to you? What shape would your life take then? Would anyone come up to you, take your hand, embrace you? Who are you when you are no one and nothing?
Only when you are no longer important and powerful, only when everyone has forgotten and rejected you, only then you w
ill become yourself again. Again, for the second time in the same life, you are born and experience a new innocence of a child's soul. You can say what you want, act as you want, and no one will say anything to you, because you are no longer important to anyone. They also have too many plans, goals, ideas, comrades and plans of their own, to deal with you. They leave you to time, that gently but surely corrode you, draw you into a whirlpool and banish you to the other side of this planet, to another time, to some other family, nation, religion.
And in response to this, all you have to do is accept this state as something good. As long as you are a nobody and nothing, a confused traveler on the platforms of life without a train ticket, it is good.
A strange statement, isn’t it?
In your past-present life, you would even be angry at this. But centuries have passed you by since then, now you even consider this strange statement to be great wisdom. It is good. One magic word that changes nothing in the world, but changes everything in you. It is good.
Everything that appears, comes and floats into your life, it is good. It is good when you are hurt, when you are sad, unhappy, lonely. It is good when things are going in a bad direction. It is good because you have finally stopped fighting with life, stopped its dirty grabs, responding with even dirtier tricks. It is good, because you have realized that life and you are not competitors, fighting for everything or nothing. It is good, because it has become clear to you that everything that exists and lasts, exists until you understand that its duration depends only on you. It depends on how much you care about it.
When you realize that everything is good, even what others seems bad, then it is good that you have stopped perceiving things as good or bad, because now you simply experience them.
