When you manifest contrast, it helps you clarify your desires, and it helps you feel grateful for what you already have.
Hating war and hating poverty are clearly inept strategies for ending war and poverty. They have never worked.
Try appreciating war and poverty for what they can teach you, and see where that gets you. |
I find this attitude somewhat cycnical and aloof. But it still doesn't answer the core of the question. Why is it that some people need contrast in order to clarify their desires while others don't seem to have this problem? Because somehow their desires or their clarity about their desires has been twisted, or not? Why do people have to learn to appreciate abundance through being poor first while others just seem to be able to do it right away? There is something weird here, I feel. Sure, war and poverty can teach us things, but why on Earth do people need to be taught that way? It really makes me wonder...and somehow I can't buy into this theory, it feels dishonest to me to brush it off that way.
