"A mind that is burdened with hope is already biased and cannot see with clarity of perception of actually
what is."
I got my clarity without actually pointing out the trouble.
I mixed hope and faith. Then came a small ding of understanding that, 'Faith in imaginary is blinding and hope in imaginary kills.' And 'hope tends to corrupt the mind against reality.'
All begins with a desperation to make things right again. Hoping to be given a second chance to do it all over again but in a different way by picking the other choice. And probably that is what is required, to understand that the present choice is better probably because there is attachment to it because of the energy embedded in it. Everything else becomes secondary. Probably.
If there is nothing you can do to make it all right now, don't hope for a second chance. It might probably go down the same lane as now some time later. What was done was done with some weighted thinking, whichever party responsible. What ifs will remain as it is. Accept the reality and let go.
Easier said than done.
"Imaginary" is desperation. Hope becomes expectations. A failure to acknowledge truth because of self deception. But when it is accepted (with courage) it sets you free. Pursuing freedom doesn't.
