It's a wonderful state to imagine, but it's a state far removed from our currently reality, and until our reality and that state are brought into alignment, all it will remain is imagination.
Do you know how such a state can be achieved in this world while still maintaining a presence within society? Can that be achieved without communicating with others, without attempting to understand them? Without allowing them to understand us? Without
wanting to hear their opinions? By prejudging others because of the beliefs and practices of some?
I would love to exist in a state of perpetual bliss. And I'm sure I'll get there. But I don't believe it will happen by ignoring the fact that other people are so far from such a state that it is unimaginable to them. Or by simply wishing for suffering to end and expecting it to happen without creating change.
Uplift, it's great that you're so passionate about your goal, but by being so dismissive of others you seem very far from reaching it.
