Thoughts in Progress

Seeing clearly means appreciating the tragic element of the human condition and understanding the root causes of the mess the world is in, to which the proper response is despair. Only through despair, which arises after being honest and humble about the sort of beings we are, with our unique set of limitations, pitfalls, and possibilities, can we appreciate the predicament we find ourselves in. Such appreciation enables us to resolve to do something about it, something that would actually attack the problem at its center of gravity causing its collapse and creating space for a more harmonious regrowth.
