Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity

[Meno2 (Meno_)]

And equally the difference that of standing on less then solid ground, in either scenarios work : I am convinced, back to basics.

What they are? Well that depends on the who , when, why, what, of it, and once that’s handled the pain may subside, regardless of the where from.

Sam Shephard, NO, Sam Becket expressed it well in :'How it Is".
When either moving up or down.

When you begin to live manipulation, the difference between reverence, reference, or even preference may disappear.

Unlikely because at best the spiral up or down has been a result of manufacturing no conduit , and that is the BIG problem.

But back to basics

The inspiration for my comment … and habitual effort … “those individuals who stand on the lowest rung” :

[b]

“You make me think of a little child that is learning to stand but does not yet know how to walk. In his desire to reach the top of the stairs to find his mother, he lifts his little foot to climb the first step. It is all in vain, and at each renewed effort he falls. Well, be like that little child. Always keep lifting your foot to climb the ladder of holiness, and do not imagine that you can mount even the first step. All God asks of you is good will. From the top of the ladder He looks lovingly upon you, and soon, touched by your fruitless efforts, He will Himself come down, and, taking you in His Arms, will carry you to His Kingdom never again to leave Him. But should you cease to raise your foot, you will be left for long on the earth.”
