> People aren’t selfish enough?

Very few people even understand what the self is. How could they but fail to honor it?

"Very few people even understand what the self is. How could they but fail to honor it?"

My picture:

I, by my very nature, am very quick to identify the intellectual and spiritual fences, which I don't so much trespass as transpass.

For me, a wall is a challenge, not a limit. Build one and I'll just stand on it to see further.

".....And here is another key point: this state also brings a kind of pseudo-freedom that conceals actual enslavement to the projected object, from which the projector cannot escape. It reminds me of the Taoist principle that if you want to control a bull, just give it a large pasture. In America, "freedom of speech" is precisely that large pasture, in which people are free to construct their own fences and define their own arbitrary psychospiritual limits, which then provide the subjective illusion of real freedom. But [we] -- by [our] very nature -- are very quick to identify these intellectual and spiritual fences, which we don't so much trespass as transpass. For us, a wall is a challenge, not a limit. Build one and we'll just stand on it to see further." ~ Robert W. Godwin, Ph.D - (forensic clinical psychologist)
