What can i do?

[Cliffy]

china,
I like Krishnamurti. I like that he turned down the job of messiah and what he had to say but he was not the only wise person on the planet. His views are not new but they were his spin on them. To have a well rounded personal perspective on life, I would suspect that a person should read as many of the great thinkers out there as possible, but most of all, one should do the silence and introspection thing more than read what others thought. Reading others can only really give you points of reference to compare your own musings.

Are you fooling yourself by saying, “What can I do? What can I, an individual, living a shoddy little life, with all its confusion and ignorance, what can I do?”

Each person could do very many good things in their life. If he really wants to do it and if he works hard and doggedly goes to his goals.

About our wish to change our life, Victor Tsoy has a very good song about it: «I want a changes!»

If you didn't have the knowledge of how to lift it, or when to lift it, you'd be stuck there till you figured it out

Judging from your previous response to my post above,I must say it would be a waste of time to explain anything.

Are you not presuming then some kind of innate self-knowledge that can be known? Isn't it more likely that such knowledge is instilled in us from our family, culture, peers, wants, desires, etc,.. so the world you are eschewing is the very thing you're actually discovering
. In such a situation it would be a more pleasing world to discover, no doubt, but also a fictitious one of delusion and ignorance. Why not discover the world around and outside of yourself, read a book and gain knowledge; it might not be the world you desire but it is certainly the world that made you. [/QUOTE

Hi Cliffy , sorry with such a late response to your post . Yes I like Krishnamurti also ( as anyone can tell by my posts ;[ met him in Ca. , in, 78 ] ).......yes there are many "great "thinkers " -that's the problem with this world .What 's so great with" the thinking"'.8O

The difficulty in implementing that advice is the cognitive dissonance which self evaluation will inevitably produce. In the course of natural human development the mind creates false self-images as defensive mechanisms against self hatred. This makes an objective self evaluation impossible at worst and an emotionally painful experience at best.

lmao Unless one loves and likes oneself.
If you can't be truthful with yourself, you're pretty much screwed ..... by yourself.
