Too much reflection has a detrimental effect.

Reflection to the extreme leads to anxiety and indecision. 

The more reflection gets the upper hand on action, the more we become indolent and thus, resentment and envy increases to dangerous levels. 

We think, get inspired, talk about what we will do, or what should be done, and then we burn out rather quickly, and we fall back into laziness, habit, material comfort, and then we cleverly rationalize the reasons we did not take action to attempt to rid ourselves of our guilt. 

Opposites are unable to completely dispense with one another because there is a mutual dependence on one another; without the other, it could not exist, for all is relative and needs to be relative in order to perceive and differentiate. 

We live in a reflective and soulless age. 

We struggle to serve and devote ourselves to others. 

We live in an age that increasingly makes one feel smaller and helpless, yet at the same time, it paradoxically stresses individual happiness, expression, and encourages self-glorification with social media as one values the amount of followers. One is also encouraged to increase the number of people to follow them and follow their life in hopes of evoking feelings of envy, worship, love and admiration from their followers. 

We misconstrue the idea of happiness with the proposition that we must seek pleasure and avoid discomfort and suffering. This pursuit of pleasure is easier than ever to accomplish and satisfy due to the ability to instantly gratify our pleasure centers with endless, readily available methods. Though feeding our reward center too often is very dangerous because it will lead to depression, irritation, addiction and an overall dissatisfaction with life. For the reward center of the brain operates on a bell-curve, when pleasure seeking activities are gratified too frequently and are obtained too quickly, our mood descends and thus we seek out more pleasure in order to feel better, which only then leads to a further dependence on pleasure seeking activities (drugs, porn, food, etc.), and we form addictions. Additionally, depression accompanies addiction, and now one is caught in a vicious cycle that is immensely difficult to escape as they need the pleasure seeking activity to feel better, but the temporary pleasure is greatly outweighed by the detrimental affects on one's psyche and mood. 

Resentment leads to wanting to drag others down so that there is no distinction, thus propelling the idea that an equality of mediocrity is more desirable than an admiration and striving for eminence. 

One can say our current age is an age of resentment. 

The pang of conscience is a sign that our character is not yet equal to our deeds. 

The soul recognizes our abilities and our potential for greatness, though our ego and unconscious trap us in worry, reflection, anxiety, fear, indolence and chronic indecision. 

It is an illusion and a comforting falsity to claim that we understand and "know" something because we have a mathematical formula for it. That is nothing more than a mere abstraction. 

Humpty Dumpty is an allegory for society. Society sits on and balances on something unstable. When the society collapses, the king and his people try to put the world back together, but are gravely unable. Once we destroy the old society, there is no way to repair it, meaning there is no way we can make it exactly the same as before, but we can adjust and change it to something superior in regard to a world that is based on higher values, values that evoke that nobler part of our psyche instead of pandering to and tempting our base and primal desires. 

What if we are just characters in someone's or something's dream or imagination? What if when this thing awakens we cease to exist?

When one truly confronts real evil, they scurry back toward that which is good. In other words, they are scared straight.

A religion becomes inwardly impoverished when it loses or cuts down its paradoxes. Their multiplication enriches it because only the paradox comes anywhere near to comprehending the fullness of life. 

The paradox is a valued spiritual possession. It is closer to the representation of the incomprehensible source of life, i.e. God (the totality, everything, all opposites, all paradoxes, contradiction, reason, nonsense, etc.).

Uniformity and one-sidedness is a sign of weakness. A singular meaning or interpretation lacks depth. 

Non-ambiguity and non-contradiction are one-sided and thus, unsuited to express the incomprehensible. 

Rational arguments will never reach the incomprehensible because it cannot be understood through logic. It is understood through the power of faith. 

One of the dangers of our rational age is that the reasoning mind cannot endure paradoxes, thus It has a psychic block. This block prevents us from connecting to the paradoxical truth, to the incomprehensible, to the sublime, to the divine source of creation. In other words, our connection to God is impeded by our love of reason, we are imbalanced toward one-sided rationality. 

We must strive to balance the irrational with the rational. 

God is all, and all is one. We are individual consciousnesses all enveloped by one incomprehensibly large consciousness, as well as being individual expressions of this source consciousness. Everything that has existed, is existing and will exist is enveloped by this source. Many claim that this source or God is attempting to become aware of itself through its endless expressions of itself. We are God and God is us.

All major religions say that murder is immoral, yet they are encouraged to murder in the name of their God. Is this one of the paradoxes that is closer to the truth of life and creation?

Is there an afterlife? Will we cease to remember this life? If so, should we choose to make the most of it? Might as well, yet if karma is attached to our soul, we must be wary of our actions for they may be repaid in our next life, whether that life be spiritual, earthly, or on another planet or in another dimension. 

We have instincts to destroy, create and preserve. 

You may not have the ability to reduce the evil that exists in the world, but you do have the ability to not add to it.
