Movies occasionally cause thought
I think thats the point of the lesson. We can choose to use it or ignore it.
To live as a part of the normal world is to accept the pain we cause.
To truly escape all the pain is total removal, essentially or literally death.
We enjoy the pain, on some perverse level. It's our reminder of our existence. The necessity of ego corresponds to our refusal to die.
The lessons are only complex if you aren't looking. They're numerous, simple, and they all say about the same thing. Actually using them despite living is an entirely separate matter.
This would make more sense, but language is at best improper here.
P.S. - Saoshyant. That word is going to drive me mad. Anybody think of any books or book series that use that word, other than those related to zoroastrianism?
