The purpose of x is to deal with y, but we can't deal with x because z prevents it.
Well then, lets all just continue to bump our heads against the wall.
I don't have a woe is me, we are born in sin, or lack view of humanity. My Father is wealthy and has bestowed that wealth on all his children that choose to accept it.
Yes, humanity in the world, within Plato's cave continues to bump its head against the wall. The adult way to deal with it isn't to say woe is me but to be open to experience it rather then live in platitudes that deny us the reality that allows us to grow.
Most are content to seek the pleasant yet there are a few capable of the joys. I contend that we need their influence from the reality of their experiences. The Christian is willing to "carry his cross" for the sake of the results of experiential reality that allows one to transcend living and dreams and become their conscious potential."A test of what is real is that it is hard and rough. Joys are found in it, not pleasure. What is pleasant belongs to dreams." Simone Weil -- Gravity and Grace
