why do you do anything
each time
you enter a stale environment
and encounter the same person
you’re in relationship with
you react in the same way
and you immediately assume
you completely understand the situation
but
can you ever know
everything
about anything
even the smallest thing
everything is infinite
it doesn’t matter
you continue to believe
irrationally
that you completely understand
the person
the relationship
and the situation
based on incomplete understanding
you assume you clearly perceive
a problem
within
the person
the relationship
the situation
but
is it really a problem
or just a perceived problem
there are real problems
of survival
food, clothes and shelter
however
not having a million dollars
is not the same kind of problem
as starvation
which exists for millions
most problems of personal relationships
is not the same as abuse, crimes and war
are most psychological problems
imagined
and not real
the conflict is real
but is it necessary to have conflict
it is possible
to live your life
with less psychological
and relationship conflicts
nonetheless
in daily life
you live in psychological conflict
which you assume
is caused
by
this and that person
these and those relationships
the wrong situations
you spend your life
addressing causes of problems
and as you solve one problem
your create four others
unknowingly
your life becomes more filled with conflict
as solutions, causes and problems multiply
as you grow older
life becomes
extremely complicated
this is exactly
what thought wants
continuity
permanence
you rationalize
your obsessions
with psychological conflict
life is supposed to be like this
you’re just unlucky
its only your relationships that’s bad
all others are happy
you haven’t met the right person
you just need to encounter the right situation
along with endless psychological
and relationship conflicts
you live with the eternal hope
that someday
somewhere
you’ll meet someone else
whom you can live with
at least for a brief moment
without further conflict
maybe
the conflict emanates from you
and maybe
most psychological conflicts
are completely unnecessary
what are one’s choices
in regards to a perceived problem
question assumptions about it
- is it really a problem
ignore it
obsess over it
try to come up with solutions
- take action
- leave the environment
what is right course of action
for psychological conflict
to continually create new ones?
those whose lives we affect
with our decisions
also have to live
with our actions
good or bad
for them
we convince ourselves
that we took the right action
to end this or that psychological conflict
we continually ignore
any further conflicts
our actions will cause
or the sacrifices
others will be forced to pay
we pat ourselves on the back
for taking decisive action
and call ourselves
martyrs
for the
guilt
pain
and suffering
we feel
with each passing day
we strengthen our beliefs
in our ability
and actions
to solve conflict
we hate the other person
we solidify our egos
we shore up the “i”
we all do this
is there a we
is there an i or you
or is it simply a process
our brains are trapped in
thought is happy
thought wins
every minute
every second
every time
thought continues
endlessly
