Greed and fear

Throat dries up,heart rate increases,we start to imagine the worst and for a while the rational component within us goes for a vacation.

That is fear.

Throat dries up,heart rate increases,we start to imagine the best we can have and for a while the rational component within us goes for a vacation.

That is the extreme cousin of fear - greed.

These two make us do things which we don't want to do,simply because the rationality deserts us for that small moment and clarity leaves us.

Balance is what is needed to keep them in check,in harmony with each other like yin and yang.

That is what is difficult to do but then most good things in life are difficult to do.

So which is more powerful - greed or fear?

Peace.

Hope

Hope is a state of human mind.

The state which makes us feel optimistic amongst despair,the one which can seemingly transform our perception from where it was first generated.

Shouldn't then we not be too much concerned about just a state that can or can not exist at length? Shouldn't controlling our own perception from within be of a greater priority then relying on a state that is generated from it?

Unnecessary expectations often lead to hope,a false hope that never materializes but what does materialize is the pain that results from those unfulfilled expectations.

Think about it - governed solely by products of perception or by perception itself,which one is better?

Peace.
