About empathy and more

  If I close my eyes and open up myself to the world I will feel the tumult of life struggling and crawling like snakes on the streets  with its passions and pains disguised in so many ways.. as joy, desire, envy, greed, hate.. all mixed in a senseless whirling mass cz all are dancing under the same rules, blind and deaf, closed, limited in their little universes .. disconnected. Even the bright mind that I admire is bathed in the pride that he loves so much and the greatness that he wants and seeks step by step is nothing more than another form of selfishness above mediocrity ..

 What is the source of suffering? what makes people hurt other beings? what makes people hurt each other? maybe the inability to feel what someone else feels, the incapacity of putting themselves in other's shoes? maybe if the hunter feels the fear and pain in his prey he would stop from harming?

 We are unable to extend ourselves beyond our Ego, that Ego that some of us cultivate it as an ultimate goal.. I wonder how many of you could feel the pain in an animal or human and not leave it carelessly behind? And how many would like to perfectly connect to the one you love with your mind and soul? If someone one day invents a device that allows u to connect your mind with the mind of someone else would u try it? maybe just out of curiousity and for a short time I doubt that for life time. Would be hard to bear the burden of someone else;s desires.. when u hardly manage yours.

The night came here with its silence and peace. . less interactions// less potential to harm, with people withdrawing themselves in their own universes..
