Psychological Suffering

Q: Is it possible to live a life free from disorder?

Q: What is security?

We are hurt by parents, school, university. Is it possible not to be hurt and not to hurt? A lot of ideas, emotions, reactions, all that is me. Is it possible not to have images at all?

I identify with my nation because that gives me a certain strength, status, security.

Why do we want to identify with something? And why do we want to become?

Avoidance, of "what is" is an escape, but to say, look, this is what I am, let`s look at it, is not.

If I see the fact that responsibility is order, I am responsible for keeping this house clean, as we all live on this earth it is our earth, not the British , or French or German earth. And we have divided ourselves because in this division we think there is security. In isolation there is neither security nor order.
