I often wonder if the reason why people become so invested in these problems is perhaps because they have something to lose?
Curious, huh? Good points. I presume you are looking in the mirror, asking others as much as you are asking self the same questions.
I ponder (when I read your post): what's this (incarnation) all for? And, sure it's about the pandemic in this thread, but it's also about so much more.
Are we trying to alleviate the suffering within/about us? Is there a difference?
I'll be the first to admit that experiencing and observing suffering causes me great discomfort. Then a question arises: what do I do about this discomfort? do I do anything? Is what I do for self, for other, for both self and other??
For me, each moment is different, and each moment carries different energies, some could be labeled STO or STS, loving or fearful ... It's a big pot o' energies for me and though I continue to try, I can't always discern one ingredient from the other yet.
It's strange that the quote you quoted has nothing to do with "curiosity"
I am not curious,
I "wonder" without presumption.. that other-selves has a deeply rooted fear within them that they do not want to see,
and thus it is layered on top of "cries" and "self-preservation" to alleviate any forms suffering, of torment, of confinement, of being "stuck."
These things are sparkling hints of creation, it does not "stagnate," everything is and will ALWAYS be in constant motion, this is the law.
But in this side, it is manifested as "fear" and "identities" ...
"To be more.." in a sense.
I spoke in front of a high school spiritual conference once, and I remember hearing a lot of bickering between the children about the "mirror" talks,
"bruh, I am only you, so accept me bruh, have you look into the mirror? me me, you you, ayahuasca, acid, shrooms party woooo"
I got a headache from that experience, not sure if it was from the shallow interpretation of "mirror/shadow work" from adolescent, or from the amount of smoke coming from the ridiculous amount of white sages being burned to "ward" off evil spirits...
I digress,
Coming back to our discussion,
There are no "mirrors" here, you hold it up when you feel offended and there is a need to "deflect" or "reflect" ...
Before you can hold up a mirror to another-self, you must separate, thus it is an act of separation, "a jab for a jab"
The questions I gave others, and you, are not foreign to myself,
They are introspective questions, not "reflective,"
my dear other-self.
