There is a great void of pain at the heart of life. Of despair and utter helplessness. Helplessly driven by forces beyond our understanding. What can one do? Nothing solves anything.
Sometimes a great despair seizes me. The despair of utter helplessness and ruining life. I think left to my own choices, I would ruin my life.
Fear of uncertainty results in the desire to know. The desire to know results in illusory knowledge. All knowledge is subtle ignorance. Peace comes when we realize nothing can actually be known. But when nothing can be known, on what basis do we act? Hence all action is based on error, not truth. All actions are flawed.
