We all necessarily treat something 'as if' to feed our bias into inevitable obsolescence or imagine a future that inherently does not exist, while at the same time we are necessarily creating the future. You have to laugh at both truth and fiction and recognize they are the same thing here. Oh yeah, that goes even for those that have a spiritual 'gnosis'. In the end, you always have to ask yourself if some seemingly useful or guiding belief is indeed practical, inadequate or unnecessarily limiting, beneficial, etc. If we do not provide ourselves with such a 'transformation of mind', we can not balance and remove distortions.
Great point! This has me reassessing my views toward fiction as, "What's the point?" I appreciate the fresh perspective, thanks Zen. Same goes for Oceania
