To think, to feel, to remember, to dream etc., are some of the significant positive menations of active living. Man cannot always lead a constant active life in the absence of some occasional passive moments, which ought to be creatively passive and not inertiapassive.
The intellect, no doubt, is a uni-cerebration in human life, but devoid o sensation, no cerebration is able to render the act of living a delightful one; in the absence of delight life’s light would not shine effulgent.
Deceiving one’s own self is one of the greatest debilities man is prone to. To believe in the presence of something, which, in reality, is absent, in him; to believe that he has compassion in him, which in reality was cruelty instead of compassion, is one of the great self-deceptions similarly to believe that he cherishes no pretension of nay kind in him while he possesses all kind’s of pretensions.
Thus self-deception is one of the greatest crimes man suffers from, in all times and chimes.
Upon this terrestrial globe, under the unbearable thornful yoke of dark slavery, man in bondage, lives carrying the mass of gloom of agony and anguish, in the glowing hope of liberating himself from that thorny yoke. He aspires of spontaneously floating in the infinite azure open sky which is free from every cloud of limitation, mundane and supra-mundane as well.
Every limitation is an anti-liberation.
