Safety first 2

Wild, deceptive and driven by old impulses...
Mind should be wild in the sense of reading anything without prejudice, but mind should not remain wild in the sense of anarchy.
Deceptive is the side effect of the best of the brain - our ability to learn is also our ability to see reality in a faulty way. The basic deception is giving too great importance to our observations. They are not as solid as they seem to be.
Driven by old impulses - living is not in the external now, but in the internal now - things that were initiated very long ago mature in our mind, triggered by external events.
We want instant social control, but we have to deal with this mind. It is a problem for all, and very much so for some individuals. The solution is integration for all, communication and mindfulness.
