I don't want to be in a state of mind (all the time, at least) which does not reflect reality. The real world presents reasons to worry. Pretending that none exist is silly.
Physical-material reality?
Sure, that is a big reality but how do you know that that is the only reality?
You know the canary syndrome?
One day the owner felt very sorry for the poor canary always lock in the cage so one day he said to the poor canary..............my dear friend i am going to give you the freedom so you can fly and live in tune with mother nature.
The canary kept silent for a while and then reply............no, i do not want to live outside the cage because i do not know how to fly anymore, because i would not be able to collect enough food and because i am afraid of predators.
The owner then reply...........ok, then i will leave the cage open so in the meanwhile you can leave for short time, learn again how to fly and come back here when you are hungry..............no, no reply the canary, i am too afraid of everything and then i am happy inside here.
The same syndrome affect also so many human being unfortunately.
They are so attached to this material-physical world that they do not want even to consider that there is a better way to live and prosper.
