Yeah, seems the forum is going a bit haywire

Anyway, if you have time check out my two previous replies and to sum it up my opinion on most of the stuff (if not everything in life) is the age old adage - the reality of thins is never so bad (and my addition would be - _or so good_!) as it seems.
For me the probable reality of things is always in the middle of it all, in a kind of balance which in itself is the perfect place to be.
I used to worry about powers that be and the injustice and damage done in front of our noses, but you have to ask yourself at some point after seeing so many efforts to improve for the greater good and peace get foiled or are barely partially successful at best - maybe the things are the way they're supposed to be at this time and place?
Maybe we're not supposed to live in Eden at this time?
Absolutely every thing present in the universe, however minor, happens for a reason and nothing is left to chance?
Not saying that people should just let go of their efforts, on the contrary, just that maybe take a look from a different perspective.
Nothing life-changing, at least as people expect/want is going to happen in my opinion.
It's like you wrote - before enlightement chop wood and bring water, after it - chop wood and bring water. So I maybe the message of it all - don't blink too much, you might miss it

It's all in the mind imo, from inside of you, nothing from outside, nothing material can do that. It may be a slight aid, but I guess we have to be careful not to end with it being our crutch.
