The above quote from Richard is a good one! So even those sane tenets of reality have to be taken with a pinch of salt in order to remain ‘normal’. So indeed those tenets are completely unlivable, for to live their full extent is to become insane. This makes sense as those very tenets of reality came from the god men, from the insane.
The hypocrisy that is required to maintain reality is something else haha. It’s like people who (in the same breath) advocate love as the ultimate cure and then will comment how a new couple in their honeymoon stage will soon ‘regain their sanity’ when love inevitably cools down.
So those tenets are taught and advocated as the way to live but deep down everyone knows that they are unlivable. When someone goes ahead and lives those tenets to their full extent then they are seen to have ‘lost it’.
