Does it all boil down to one or infinite lives?
Nobody has the right answer, wtf!!
Linear or circular (ted talk link) and derived from that a way of being, a way of acting, a way of living.
I spent in Morocco a couple of weeks and I perceived many circular behaviours (although islam is not circular itself). I understood the following there: globalisation sets linear rules all around the world, even there where circular thinking imperes; that's why we speak of 1st and 3rd world... Morocco is playing the circular game, so according to linear rules, they are doing wrong.
Moroccans are victims, we are aggressors.
Once back, I shared that thought with a friendand I understood the mistake in my reasoning. I blame Europeans for our unconsciousness: it's our way of living what makes the situation wrong all-around the world; however, my friend helped me understand that Europeans are just victims as well. We believe the stories we are told about life and the world, and we cannot be blamed for that.
Unconsciousness is not something to blame others about.
