The Observer's Compassionate Perspective

People who truly understand life often prefer to be observers rather than performers. When they reach a certain level of understanding, they gain a "God's perspective." From this vantage point, the world no longer appears bustling and prosperous; instead, it reveals itself as a realm where all living beings are suffering, each with their own unique pain. In this reality, everyone is both pitiful and, in some way, detestable.

The suffering of living beings stems from their stubbornness and ignorance. They are often slaves to their desires, trapped within cages of their own making.

This understanding sheds light on why wise individuals may not "fall in love" in the conventional sense. Once you achieve a certain level of insight, it becomes difficult to feel admiration for someone in the way that often defines romantic love. Love, in many cases, is a feeling of admiration born from information asymmetry. However, when you open yourself to a higher-dimensional perspective, this sense of worship tends to disappear.

From this elevated view, most people appear pitiful. Many present a bright and beautiful facade, but upon deeper acquaintance, you discover their hearts are riddled with holes. You begin to see that every heart yearns to be understood, and every soul needs redemption.

Consequently, you gradually let go of worldly desires and cultivate a compassionate heart. This shift occurs because the world is filled with negativity, and people often speak from a place of greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance, doubt, a pursuit of fame and fortune, or simple prejudice. These expressions often lack genuine heart.

Once you grasp this clearly, looking at all living beings—including yourself—is akin to observing a colony of ants. To make a living, most people scurry around in small circles day and night, leading numb and repetitive lives.

Understanding this isn't about being pessimistic; rather, it's about no longer being absurdly optimistic. There are few truly happy people in this world because most are pursuing the wrong things. True happiness is not fame, wealth, or status, but living life on your own terms.
