If man's biggest fear is his fear of death; then, his greatest suffering stems from this fear of death. If his biggest concern is the reality of his finiteness; then, his only recourse is to preoccupy himself with the other reality; to concern himself with the intangible reality if he wants to achieve infiniteness. The other reality that could not be sensed, but could be experienced – that anyway, could be registered. He has to follow his heart, his intuition that there must be something more, a meaning – to this life.
What about violence? Is this internal violence coming from this inherent universal climate of injustice? Is this internal violence coming from this inherent need to balance this injustice with compensating desire? This internal violence that is expressed as external violence in the world of relations – in the world of people?
"At the root of violence is desire. Desire appears in different degrees and forms, from the most unbridled ambition, to the simplest and most legitimate aspirations." --Silo•••
"...to vanquish mental suffering we need to surpass our primitive desires." --Silo
