It is always easier for most people to gravitate towards beliefs that do not encourage people to look within, at the darkness within, and accept it as wrong, and deal with it.
Everyone has darkness within them. They may not want to believe that, but it’s true. Obviously there are different levels of this darkness, some having far more than others.
But, it is much easier for many, to not illuminate this, not want to face this, not want to feel shame and have to make the effort to put it right.
Easier to go with beliefs that enable this darkness to be seen as okay. Karma is a classic and obvious example. To believe that people will get what they deserve if they have hurt you…..and to feel good about that, is darkness.
And that is exactly why karma is popular. Plus people think if they do good, they will receive good back, which is also a very immature beliefs, but suits many people’s desires. My view, is you shouldn’t be doing good, to get something back. You should be doing good, because it is the right thing to do as a human being, regardless of what you get back. But, that doesn’t fit with many people’s needs. People only want to know what’s in it for themselves.
People’s levels of emotional development, their capacity to reflect, their self insight……..and how little they actually have…..is interesting and the reasons why, are becoming clearer.
People mostly do not want to be challenged about their beliefs and whether they are wise, or about a beautiful heart/soul. To even suggest they may be wrong and have heart/soul issues, takes them too close to shame.
Shame, is such a huge issue. Brene Brown is correct when she says society is built on foundations of shame.
Shame is probably the worst emotion/fear to confront.
