Response To Krishnamurti

Are we all really selfish, thirsty consumers that never get enough, and are never satisfied? Yes, we all are because the individual never stops his/hers’ consumption rampage to think about what they’re really doing. Because of this we are always stuck in a hole, as we consume more and more, the maze known, as satisfaction gets more and more complex and larger. This simple consumption is no longer enough. We get so lost in our search for more satisfying things that we have no idea that our chance for real freedom and self-realization is getting slimmer and slimmer as the maze gets more complex. Our problems become more and more depressing.
The lost individual will be forever lost is they do not come to self-realization. He is depressed and confused. Confusion is a feeling that can potentially evolve itself into either a more intricate sadness or physical problems. The solution would be to realize an exit to the maze before it is entirely impossible to do so by realizing ourselves and our unhealthy mental relationships with the world’s many deceptions. It’s always easier to fall on our knees before the world’s deceptions than it is to realize something real. Deceptions are presented to you as opposed to realities, which are to be sought out within you. People are presented with a door that can potentially open up to their inner selves but so many people are fixated on what’s behind the door instead of the evolution of thought that leads to the door opening. Life what Krishnamurti said, “To understand the full significance of living, we must understand the daily tortures of our complex life; we cannot escape from them.”
Anything can be deceiving. If the path to total freedom is the understanding of one’s own actions and relationships with the cosmos, then we live a life of deceitful actions and false relationships. The complexities of life are always related to one another like core human feelings. They share relationships and if a relationship is to flourish in the first place, action must be taken first in order to seek out the actual relationship. Because our actions are deceitful and our relationships are false and unhealthy, we must change them. A redirection of our actions is needed and they need to be turned inward at ourselves in order for us to achieve this difficult self-realization. This will also reveal the relationships we have within ourselves. We are never supposed to seek building materials on the outside when a sturdy foundation hasn’t already been built yet. When the individual’s internal ideals collapses, chaos will ensue, and from the dust and rubble, confusion is born, and from confusion, we are prone to other mental and physical dangers.
