Is your standard for good news (aka a white pill) small or big, personal or societal?
Is it lukewarm acceptance, such as: Humanity is continuing to muddle along and didn't destroy civilization in a nuclear war today, huzzah!
Or is it personal? I got a promotion/laid/new job/won at a tournament, etc..... Life's tough, but I'm doing okay because I made a difference for me.
Or is it metaphysical? Life is suffering due to personal attachments, I am working towards ending my worldly attachment to material possession. Meh.
Granted, people by nature are primed to focus on the negative. There's plenty of bad stuff in this world. Worse, some people are existentially nihilistic and like a cancer they spread their misery to others. They can't handle their own personal powerlessness in the face of overwhelming suffering that has always been the lot of mankind.
But my friends, all this will pass away, and what you do with life echoes through eternity.
Standard implies stationary...hence reasoning (good vs bad) keeping one stationary within the same conflict; no matter which side one chooses.
On the other hand...N(orth) E(ast) W(est) S(outh) implies a setting apart of center from circumference during motion.
Hence alternative instead of standard...
Echo (sound repeated by reflection) tempts one to ignore that sound doesn't repeat...it's those within choosing to alter (resonance) or reflect (dissonance).
Reason implies reflection; implication implies alternation. Reflecting good news vs bad news ad infinitum doesn't alter the conflict; it only destroys those within.
The "passing away" you mentioned above cannot be "stuffed"...it's ones consent which stuffs suggested information by another within ones mind/memory. That's where plenty/pele/to fill originates from.
Letting go of suggested clears ones mind/memory up, while dissolving the conflict of reason (good vs bad).
Rebrand this into "willing consent" and ask yourself at what moment ones free will of choice became "lukewarm"? Notice furthermore that this lukewarm choice was made before the acceptance vs denial conflict came to be.
How could anything not be per-sonos (by sound)? As in SOUND, adjective (Latin sanus) - "entire; whole"...
Getting implies seizing/taking hold of...how could temporary (life) within ongoing (inception towards death) get anything?
Aka forward (pro) motion...how could form (life) within flow (inception towards death) be moved forwards without ignoring something fundamentally crucial?
Aka "turn a mind" aka circular reasoning...
Exactly so.
