Ego driven
The ego love its resentment of reality. Buddha calls this reality 'tatata' – the suchness of life, of the moment. One of the ego's functions is to oppose that suchness. The ego creates the negativity it thrives on, the unhappiness it loves. In this way you make yourself and others suffer and don't even know you're doing it, don't know that you are creating 'hell on earth'. To create suffering without recognizing it is the essence of unconscious living, living, totally in the grip of the ego. The extent of the ego's inability to recognize and see what its doing is staggering and unbelievable. It will do exactly what it condemns others for and not see it. When pointed out will use angry denial, clever arguments and self-justifications to distort the facts. When all else fails the ego will resort to shouting or even physical violence. Send in the Marines. We can now understand Jesus' words of wisdom, “Forgive them for they know not what they do”.
