Transcript

To live life simply is never simple,

Isn't it?

This world has become too complicated.

There are so much disorder in every corner of this planet,

Which are all from the human consciousness.

No matter which country one is in,

Which society one is in,

The force from this mental construct is very strong.

People's lives are pushed to move in a few grooves.

Life is full of stress,

Conflict,

And life can be easily complicated in so many subtle ways.

We tend to depend.

We depend on society.

We depend on people's opinion,

Views.

But it is our dependence that creates such a society.

And the very dependence on the society mentally is a trap,

Is a loop.

To understand ourselves thoroughly is to understand the society thoroughly.

We are the society.

The society is running in the height of each individual.

Please see it.

It is fact.

It's not only a statement made by the speaker.

It is fact.

It is the actuality.

The very understanding of the society is to end this mental dependence thoroughly.

When one sees the force of this society,

One will inevitably find out there's nothing to depend on.

One has to stand alone.

In that aloneness,

Not loneliness,

In that aloneness,

There's clarity,

Immovable.

And only in that aloneness,

The mind is free.
