There are many circumstances that

make us unjust, ambitious or

aggressive. All around us, everything

is pushing us in that direction, often

out of some commercial interest: I have

to possess this or that object, otherwise

my life will be lamentable. The world is

presented to us as essentially

competitive, divided into ‘the winners’

and ‘the losers’, but that too is a false

vision, deliberately false. It is a rapid

scan of the surface which eliminates

any descent into the self, any

meditation and reflection.

許多狀況會讓我們無法保持公平正義,

野心過大或是咄咄逼人.

周遭每件事情都把我們往那個方向推,

通常為了某些商業利益的考量:

我必須要擁有這個或那個東西,

否則我的生活會很悲慘.

世界在我們面前被呈現出

一個事事競爭的現象,

把人分成 “贏家” 和 “輸家”,

但這也是一種錯誤的幻覺,

刻意營造的錯誤.

只是快速一瞥而看到的表象,

將任何自我的深入探索,

任何沉思與反省都排除在外了.
