Big Pharma is evil though because it is too big and people are becoming addicted and dying from some of these drugs. There's not nearly enough research going into them before being approved.

we are natural beings pretending not to be

I mean that each human being is nothing more than a collection of plants and animals that have died. A few gallons of water too. Scientifically we are nothing more.

That means we are a stage in nature; a ripple in an natural cycle.

It is the limitations of our ego and a false belief or notion that we have risen above this cycle due to our self established prestige in the universe.

The ego is make believe, or pretend, and it is compounded by social media, ID cards, social security numbers, and a highly linear society that doesn't match the sloppiness of our biology.

These things force us to remember our personas the more we use them. Constantly comparing ourselves to what's above and below us on our various social media feeds, rather than looking around. People constantly driven by things they don't or can't have. Burning out energy trying to get a degree when no job prospects are there when your done. Having to let debts go into default.

The game of life is highly cerebral and can get very painful if taken too seriously. I think that it's insatiable desires that lead to depression. The desires to buy, to accumulate anything. It's getting exponentially more rampant

These phantoms are signs of a global desperation that increasing.

This narrow view creates a lot of blind spots in our daily life. It leaves out the true, non-linear ecology that we constantly depend on and are forged from.

We are increasingly unaware of it. Most Americans forget it. They leave it out in a plagued costume of self importance as they relentlessly pursue the concept of "more"

This concept leaves out the plants, animals and water that currently form us. hard work and utter death and birth creates the ground beneath our feet.

When you can't have what you want, you feel bad.

That's why it's highly important for a person to work on themselves rather than working for something external

To try to understand every inch of the mind that we possibly can

what we are actually after is the experience of joy and that comes from within just by being aware of the sensation of being.

So to feel better we must be better according to ourselves, not others.
