The base of the human-earthly life is the HEALTHY and honest self-critisism. Without this, our life is only a lie which we cheat on ourselves with. Our life becomes fruitless and pointless. Its consequences, in regard of us, are suffering, pain, temper, hatred and lovelessness.
To cut it short, it is SELFISH DISPOSITION if we cheat on ourselves and tell lies to our surroundings. WE CAN'T GIVE ANYTHING ELSE BUT THIS.
This is the regularity of cause and effect.
'For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.'
Matthew 6.21
