I think if you take the analogy far enough you find what Zen calls choiceless awareness. Choice itself is sort of an illusion that arises from slicing reality up into smaller pieces. The first cut is self/other as I understand it. The first two boxes are me/not me. Mine and not mine. And I think it's as much a habit of biology as it is of social conditioning. We're not the only territorial animals on this planet. But yeah, to piggyback off redgreenvines here some, the choice isn't to start untying the knot. It takes energy to constantly be attacking reality with a mental knife and I think people just get tired of it and will take a way out if it's presented. Navigate away from suffering, and towards peace. -------------------- Listen to the silence behind the engines' noise. Jesus, Sweets, listen. Hear it? It's a love song. For whom? You are loved. ~ David Foster Wallace, Westward the Course of Empire Takes Its Way Edited by tree frog (11/29/23 07:31 PM)
