The act

There are so many negative reviews about Landmark Education. People go through the education and then their act proves that everything was wrong. The act cannot stay in the background too long unless a conscious effort is made to make it stay permanently in the background. Once it comes in the foreground, it clashes with everything you did while it was in the background. There is an inconsistency then. How do you resolve an inconsistency? Well ... one thing has to be wrong, one thing has to be right, and you should have all the correct reasons to prove it wrong. So, when the act is in control, it causes the whole Landmark thing look like a sham to justify what it did. If it does not do so, the inconsistency will remain and you will not be able to rest. At this point, if the 'you' takes over, it'll accept what the act did and you'll be at rest again. If the act takes over, it'll prove you wrong. The act makes (or rather proves) the possibility, an impossibility. And it tells you how everything you learnt then, was wrong. It fills meanings in an empty and meaningless life. It gives you a 'reasonable' life. It is comfortable. You want to live it because there is less head pain, less effort in taming your act. Isn't it simply beautiful how this works?

So one can definitely ask the question: who is right, the act or you?

I answered it by asking myself which of the two made me more miserable. The answer was simple. And then I realized that there is no right and wrong.
