2. Inherently going to contain some suffering, (because all manifestations are a contraction). -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------It's inevitable that all creations will be bad/cruel/evil, because creation is inherently a contraction, and all contractions involve pain/suffering (to some degree). Ie, the only way to be totally free from contraction/pain/suffering, is to be that which is non-existence, because non-existence is not only free from these things, but is: 1. Beyond contraction and expansion. 2. Beyond birth and death. 3. Etc. Ie, in non-existence, there are no silly games/stories, (eg, you need to experience something negative, to enjoy something positive). Also, there's no need to simultaneously be in both existence and non-existence. Yes, this would be better than being only in existence, however, being only in non-existence is going to be infinitely better. Note: Some people would argue, that if you want to experience something positive, then you have to experience something negative. This is just extremely narrow minded. -- However, even if this was true, then it sound like an extremely foolish game to be involved in, and you must have been serious brainwashed/programmed/fooled/tricked to want to play it, and believe that no other options exist. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The best way to keep people in prison/torture/slavery/rape, is to give them hope. -- And, the best hope/story/advice/information to give the slaves, is that they will soon be free, but firstly, they just have to do x, y, z, and if they do this over a long enough period of time, they will then be free. Of course, x, y, z, might be advice from the slaver-drivers (or slave-owners), or it could be advice from any “freedom”/“truth”/“humanitarian”/etc, organisation, telling them that they have to: 1. Do some prayers/rituals. 2. Do some meditation/practice/technique. 3. Prepare (and alter) their body/mind/spirit/soul, for reasons x, y, z. 4. Prepare for some upcoming disaster/apocalypse, (eg: financial, terrorist, 1000
