 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;quote-msg&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;quote-author&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;LittleNote&lt;/em&gt; wrote:&lt;/div&gt;Go gently, ever so.  Worry not.  Even dead wood floats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;nicely*written, and yet most will need a bit of a push to get off the boat, as the reality in their worried illusion is of becoming the sharks lunch, ever so violently and they also think that even dead wood drifting in that vast higher power of the ocean, will be hit by the boat, as that&#039;s how the fear they live by uses words to hold them, and thus one floats in a cage through the beauty, grace and power of a world befit of wonderment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;it&#039;s a sad*way - to*live and no*way - to*be.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BL*M&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>RESENTMENT AND DISILLUSIONMENT VERSUS THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS</title>

Once upon a long ago, I led Enneagram retreats, using the  writings of the saints and scoundrels as models to understand  motivational behavior in that paradigm.  Along with this tool and commonly used words, we can find illumination that helps us better understand the why of what we do contrary to our better senses.

Most people do not want to be disillusioned, yet to be Ã¢â‚¬Ëœdissed&#039; or undone of one&#039;s illusions is the path to truth.  The truth can only set us free if we know what that truth is.  We are often happy with what we do not realize are illusions.  We content ourselves with seeing through a glass darkly.  We hear off-stage, &quot;The truth hurts,&quot; and so we settle for less. Often I&#039;ve asked a friend to tell me what I cannot see of me because I do not own a 3-D mirror.  It is not good for a human to be alone.</description>
