Very precise on certain things displayed in the post. The circumstances of many people's misfortunes are self-inflicted. They dwell on situations that are beyond their control and instead on focusing on getting a solution, they just let themselves overwhelmed by them.
And most of the time is unconscious. Each individuals tend to think they are the center of the universe while they are just the center of their own lives and their programmed realities.
The most important aspect, no matter on what we believe in, is to confront the premise that we are a part of an integrated mechanism.
Even in the scope of the earth, as Bruce Lee put it:
"Under the sky, under the heavens there is but one family"
The thing is that we're different with relevant and personal attributes.
Very well said, @edave! Bruce Lee is an inspiration!
