RE: It's All An Illusion, It's All Experience, Let It All Happen (WTF!?)
People do not want to face reality so they create their safe illusion and make it their reality. They hope to escape the dangers and trouble of the world that way. For some it works. For others they get clobbered by the true reality as a result of being too passive and apathetic. they realize the world has problems but they do not want to know about it. Dated a girl once that was that way. Obviously I am not passive. Thanks @krnel
Right on. Pacifism of not getting involved because of not wanting the hassle of being involved oo ;)
There is actually reason to do this, but only with understanding can one choose which ignorance is necessary and isn't dangerous. There are dangers we are unlikely to face, so ignoring them is reasonable, like Velociraptor hunting techniques.
Other things, like the endemic corruption of our governments, police, and the enemedia, are almost certain to bite us in the ass if we ignore them. Carlos Castaneda, in 'A Yaqui Way of Knowledge', wrote his spiritual teacher, the sorcerer Don Juan, said 'A man of knowledge chooses his folly.'
Even though this was a fictional tale, there is much truth in it.
Thanks!
