Empty beliefs (Antonio Perrotta)

 











Beliefs

Attachments to thoughts

Reinforce a separate identity &

Things are taken personally..

Which is a story of

Appearances of the

Impersonal...



The misery of whatever empty belief you're claiming is that it must be constantly tested, sustained, molded, updated, defended. There is an ongoing demand for consent, credibility, approval to somehow support that presumed personal position of knowledge or experience. There is a constant need to relate one's position to other positions, to compare one's own belief with different beliefs claimed by others in an attempt to impose one's own or to reach some compromise. Until then that belief is not swept away by some new and more suggestive belief that in turn needs to be defended, supported, claimed... without end, without ever achieving any actual stability, no permanent satisfaction, no imaginary approach.
