Re: the triviality of now
well. you have to be fair to yourself as well :)
if its a JUST cause then fine go ahead and self destruct. but is the reason really worth it? ask yourself that and be true to yourself. you don't need to prove anything to yourself about you. shun notions of self greatness. you're not a saint. you're just a human. the sooner we accept it the better.
khair. YES it is humanly possible and overcomeable :D :) just have a practical approach towards things and try to self preserve not self destruct.
