Hard work 2

Mind has a potential for growth, joy and happiness - so that is uninteresting...who cares?


But mind is the biggest threat to humanity, our worst enemy ever, the most extreme villain trying to make you suffer in every possible way ... so we better take care!


This was only the sales speak.


But mind is the biggest threat to humanity. The natural forces are not dangerous. Even earth quakes and tsunamis can be handled. But direct and indirect effects of mind misuse is difficult.


Our normal life is a low-level struggle with our own short comings in combination with the short comings of others. Sometimes the intensity is increased as in war, heavy crime or terrorism.


We can train our mind by solving external problems, but that is time consuming. If we start with mind itself, external problems will be solved automatically.


It is difficult enough to deal with the own mind. But the real problem is the processes in the minds of others.

Mind is smart and it will find the best solution by itself. If we interfere in the life of others, we often make the mind lock in a negative position. The extreme example is in Guantanamo bay where some detainees are checked against suicide every three minutes, day and night.

If we try to force the mind of someone, it reacts negatively. If we instead use mind rationally, we get a rational response.

But should we be rational or biased? Bias is the historical attitude, but rationality is for the future.
