It's the only way to learn.
Just a small note - There's a conspiracy dynamic which hinders growth by distracting us from balancing and discovering ourselves which is the real growth, but then there's also real conspiracies such as the current NSA spying phone metadata emails etc.
I only point this out because the comment "invoke conspiracy dynamic" could be construed as saying that they not exist at all.
But with respect to the typical conspiratorial mindset, totally agree. It's easy to see a conspiracy, real or imagined, and play the blaming separation game without going deeper into the self and the selves of others to see what's really the true imbalance at play.
