High emotion
In times of insecurtiy it is not always easy to keep a balance between inner positive motives and the situation in the world as such.
There is no need to give in to this. There is only a need of acknowledgement and some sort of dealing with situations, which will always be different.
But most important is to keep up the high emotion of our inner vision and longing.
It is easy to get overwhelmed by negativity of any kind. This is not the same as the inner wound, which can heal only through integration.
What people called the matrix lately does not do good, as it throws a perspective onto things which is not lighthearted but utilaristic and can cause a lot of pain.
There is no way to use the other as a means. One should stay innocent and humble to get through all manipulation and cynical ways.
But it is always possible when it is accepted that it is never easy and cheap.
Five enemies of peace inhabit with us - avarice, ambition, envy, anger, and pride; if these were to be banished, we should infallibly enjoy perpetual peace. Petrarch
