you're further than you suppose you're and that's extremely helpful to people especially people who are floundering because they suppose oh my God life is so delicate! do not know if I can stand this there must be commodity wrong with me does anybody differently feel this way and you can say yes everyone feels that way at some time but that is and and it's as bad as you suppose but you are further than you suppose you're and the thing that is cool about that's all the clinical substantiation shows it works and not only that that's actually how you learn in life if you're sufficiently valorous and forthright and honest let's say in your approach and you don't wince down what you will find is that there is commodity within you that will respond to the challenge of suffering with the development of capability that will transcend the suffering so the pessimism is yeah well life is replete with problems at every position but the upside is if you turn and defy that freely that you will find commodity in yourself that can develop and master that and so the the sanguinity is nested in the pessimism if people are hysterical of commodity hysterical of commodity that's standing in their way as an handicap like perhaps you are trying to develop your career and you are hysterical of public speaking well I could try to calm you down about your fear and and cover you from The Challenge that would be associated with public speaking you say well you noway have to do that or I could say no no look you have to learn to present yourself more effectively in public if you are going to develop your career and you are hysterical of it so let's break down what you are hysterical of by into 10 way or 20 way until we can find a step that is small enough so that you can actually Master it let's assume that with three times of active practice that you could come a competent public speaker at least one that is not scarified with five times you could come an expert and let's decide how applicable that's to your unborn substance and thriving and also let's assume that if you break it down duly and take it on step by step in this incremental way that we bandied that you will actually Master every single bit of it if you can read and suppose and and communicate you're absolutely 100 impregnable and that is another thing that is so intriguing about Humanity's education that is at the core of the University it's like there is nothing more economically precious than tutoring people how to articulate themselves and communicate because they can identify problems they can formulate results they can negotiate to agreement they can negotiate on their own behalf or on the behalf of others it's like there is absolutely no strike to it except that there is a responsibility that goes on with it but it does not count because there is no escape from responsibility you can either take it freely or you can take it inevitably those are your options but there are not any other options you know if you set out a path towards a thing which you want to do because you need a thing and you need a path because that provides you with positive emotion right so you set up commodity as precious so that implies a scale you set up commodity is precious you decide that you are going to do that rather of other effects so that is kind of a immolation because you are immolating everything differently to pursue that and also you witness a fair bit of positive emotion and meaning as you watch yourself move towards the thing and so the recrimination of that's the the better the thing the the more full and Rich your experience is going to be when you pursue it what you will findis that as you move towards the thing there are certain effects that that that you have to negotiate that scarify you you know perhaps you have to learn to be a better speaker a better pen a better thinker you have to be better to people around you or you have to learn some new chops and you're hysterical of that whatever because it's going to stretch you if you if you pursue a thing and it's and so that'll put you up against challenges why do you want to challenge because that is what you are erected for that is what you are erected for you are erected to take on a minimal cargo right because that is what strengthens you and you need to be strong because life is extraordinarily delicate and because the evil King is always whittling down at the structure of the state and you have to be awake and sharp to stop that from passing so that you do not come loose and so that your family does not come loose and so that your state does not have to come loose you have to have your eyes open and you are head sharp and your words at the ready and you have to be educated and you have to know about your history history and you have to know how to suppose and you have to know how to read and you have to know how to speak and you have to know how to aim and you have to be willing to Hoist the Troubles of the world up on your shoulders despite the fact that life is a tragedy tainted by nastiness at every position of actuality there is commodity about the mortal spirit that can Thrive under precisely those conditions if we allow that to do because as delicate as life is and as horrible as we're our capacity to deal with that catastrophe.
