ou are likely aware of the teachings of Buddha, or at a minimum the Buddhist philosophy.
They espouse giving up the "game" entirely. They surrender because they understand the futility and paradox inherent in the current state of development. To suppress/conquer all desires…to tread lightly…to be one with all.
It is the yin to our yang. It is the only counter-position to our gambit. We know this, but we also know human nature.
Christianity also pays lip service to this…turn the other cheek. Why? To deprive the "other" of your hate energy. That is the only way to prevail, but how many western minds can comprehend this simple teaching? Charles Manson, a famous prisoner in the us (although he committed no crime himself) said something to the effect that the hatred of the americans towards him is what kept him going…or words to that effect!
Imagine! There is someone who actually understands the dynamic and, as such, had to be incarcerated!
