It's more like this :
people spend so much time projecting their own ideas of what they think reality should be that they miss reality and in missing reality, they are constantly chasing an idea that never will happen.

but... you already get it so now I'm preaching to the choir.

its a good rewrite i think.
there an active chasing of the unreal that most people (like me!) compulsively do.
so it isn't just a passive waiting for conditions to be as you would prefer.
it is the active pursuit of something that's just made-up.
this is good. it eradicates the idea of perfection. it is not that I am immune to this and others are not. it is that being aware of this human pitfall we can each avoid being caught in it.
we should start a nostr Dharma discussion group. maybe. I dunno. ca of worms.
i keep trying to get the guy who runs my local temple to stream his talks to nostr 😅
but I'm always happy to share whatever experience i have.
