Yes, most of us know that it is delusion to believe something that is not true. I am not a woman, no matter what I dress like. I am not superman no matter what I think or confess.
It doesn't matter how much I want it. The truth IS, and we either accept it or not.
Not, can have lasting consequences. If I jump off a building because I am absolutely convinced that I am superman, the pavement will bring me a truth that may only last a split second...then the truth will be evident to everyone who witnessed my "revealing".
Truth matters and it can have concrete revelations too.
So, to fix this, it would be a good idea to examine the evidence and ask ourselves why we believe what we believe.
How would I know if I "feel" like I'm a woman if I have never been one? I can easily look down to see that I am not. Yet why do I feel like I do?
Good questions to ask.
How would I know if I am superman, a fictional being made up by some comic book guy. I have never been superman, no one has. I have no powers. I have no invulnerability. But I really WANT to be superman. I mean flying, wow. That would be so cool. Yet when I experiment safely with it, well, I'm still walking...
Yes, examining now is a much better idea than going full boar and jumping off a high building.
Safer, much safer.
That would be a wiser, smarter way to look for that hard truth.
Fact is, we are all going to die. It may not be a building jump, but what happens next will hit us like a brick.
If it is nothing, oh well. But if there is an option to something greater and there is anything I can do or see here to get there... That might be a really good idea.
Of course, I could just do like everyone seems to and just believe what I want. I mean, I really want it to be true. So, isn't it then?
Well, I'm getting closer to the edge, I guess I will know shortly...
