The paradox of living a meaningful life in the middle of modern society involves dealing daily with a dilemma of knowing the power of money is just illusory yet understanding modern society itself is built on top of that illusion. As a consequence, dishonoured, dishonest, and deceptive people use such an illusory power to perform harmful actions, taking advantage of the inequality observed around the globe to manipulate, prosecute, and control innocent and unconscious people. Based on that argument, we could say that if the minority of people who earn a lot of money perform donations to help others, it would bring the world into balance. Unfortunately, it’s another huge illusion. Bribery, corruption, deception, greediness, and all negative traces of hatred culture and dishonoured people would take advantage of pure hearts giving away their wealth, causing harm to that person with good intentions, and to the ones who’re in need of help. Thus, those who perform donations with genuine and good intentions cannot do it without being extremely careful, which implies the clear understanding of using empathy to get on their shoes, trying to see if they aren’t also dealing with obnoxious behaviours and dishonoured, dishonest, and deceptive people attempting to cause harm in their surroundings. The more we realise that, the better we understand that spotting one dishonoured person requires a lot of conscious people, as well as taking down one genuine and conscious person requires a considerable number of dishonoured, dishonest, and deceptive people doing full time dirty manoeuvres. The problem is always acquiring the understanding of what characterises the situation, scene, and environment we’re part of in the present moment. Let’s remember that using the understanding of the majority isn’t a conscious and meaningful way of making decisions on our own.
The beauty of life is in its pure love nature we can be totally aligned with, enabling us to perform our body and mind training in order to step into higher stages of our personal evolution. Adaptation becomes a key concept that we need to apply within our own perspective and relativity, understanding the situation we’re part of, and drawing suitable strategies to deal with what we’ve before us in a conscious and meaningful way.
Becoming penniless isn’t always the answer for consciously walking the path towards a meaningful life, although it helps to put everything into the perspective of what matters most. However, if we’re conscious enough to have contact with the illusory power of money without getting corrupted by that power, which is as much challenging as living penniless, we could observe modern society from a unique perspective where we may get deep involved with the illusion of money, at the same time we may experience the paradox of being supported by an illusory power we know that corrupt more than it helps attaining the understanding of what matter most.
As a consequence of our progress in attaining the understanding of how we could walk the path towards a meaningful life, the answer isn’t unique and certain but depending on the current situation we’re experiencing and environment we’re inserted into. The only thing that is certain is the understanding of what matters most, and that understanding makes us unique yet equals, no matter the circumstances. Let’s always remember and take that understanding into consideration while living our own life.
