Disturbed times produce some who, though buffeted by wild waves, move through the deep waters to embrace all who suffer. Even when undergoing fierce suffering themselves, they still extend kindness to others. Bearing vessel after vessel of water to relieve those dying of thirst, they are able to satisfy the unbearable cravings of beings.”
Thanks for this, Andrew, sounds like worthwhile reading. But when you bring up social control, it would help if you were to tell us who is doing it. There are lots of suspects I can think of, but I'd like to hear from you, otherwise why would I believe it? What evidence is there besides people saying it is so?
Turning a difficult time/situation into a source of beauty/inspiration, confirms my knowledge that no one/nothing, can make me feel like anything without my permission.
I should have said that it sounds like really worthwhile reading, sounds awesome and I appreciate your pointing it out and the whole world that you bring. As far as social control goes, I think it is a real problem but more diffuse than people say, more like social forces than individuals pulling levers.

Beautifully written Andrew. Thank you.
