That's why God invented the Ego

It's the burr under the saddle

be apathetic, that's cool, we all go through it, then "more will be revealed", then we go into incredible pain, then we blame and fingerpoint, then we have a growth period, It's easy to rest on our laurels, and I have never met anyone who didn't at some point, I also never met anyone who didn't have apathy followed by a(n) (incredibly painful) growth period.

I think the reverse also happens, we get all up in working everyone else's program, followed by incredible pain, then we blame and fingerpoint, followed by a(n) (incredibly painful) growth period.

I think we pendulum, swinging from one extreme to the other over the years until we stabilize, finding a "middle road" that IIRC is mentioned in Buddhism.

Like the Old Timers always told me with that great smile "just keep doing what you are doing", the lesson will come whether we want it to or not.
