Humans believe in so many lies that even the smallest thing becomes a big demon that makes us suffer. Usually it\u2019s just a judgment, and mainly it\u2019s a self-judgment: \u201cPoor me. Look what happened to me when I was nine years old. Look what happened to me last night!\u201d Well, whatever happened in your past is not truth anymore. It could be the most horrible thing, but right now it\u2019s not truth, because right now is the only truth you live in. Whatever happened in your past is in the virtual reality, and whatever happened to your body was healed long ago, but the mind can make you suffer and live in shame for years.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Humans carry our past, our history, around with us, and it\u2019s just like we\u2019re carrying a heavy corpse. For some it\u2019s not that heavy, but for the majority of people that corpse is very heavy. And it\u2019s not just heavy; it smells very bad. What many of us do is keep our corpse to share with the ones we love. With the powerful memory we have, we bring it to life in the present moment and relive our experiences again, and again, and again. Every time we remember those experiences, we punish ourselves and everybody else again, and again, and again. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Humans are the only animals on earth who punish themselves a thousand times or more for the same mistake, and who punish everybody else a thousand times or more for the same mistake. How can we talk about injustice in the rest of the world when there is no justice in the world inside our own head? The entire universe is ruled by justice, but by true justice, not by the distortion of justice that we artists have created. True justice is facing what I call action-reaction. We live in a world of consequences; for every action there\u2019s a reaction. True justice is to pay one time for every mistake we make. And how many times do we pay for every mistake? Obviously, this is not justice.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
