Perishable 2

It is a pity: we have to work so hard to make observations about the external world and make some sense out of our observations, and then we have to accept that all this has no true value. It might be false altogether, and the more we do to make our observations correct, the worse it gets.
It is not a personal trap but a mind trap. But some persons are more vulnerable to this problem than others.
It is very difficult to understand reality just by observing it. The easy way is to become an insider, to be able to ask and and to participate.
If we look from the outside we have to look very carefully, and in order to to that we have to believe that our observations are valuable. But usually they are not.
One specific observation might be exact, but the importance of it depends on many factors. The ultimate factors are always mind factors. There are many external factors, many legal factors, many psychological factors, a lot of habits and traditions - but all of this is overruled by mind factors.
