So looking at this is taking me in an interesting direction. I can see that I have not committed to feeling good each moment again for the rest of my life primarily out of this fear of appearing foolish.
I have continued to uphold the values of reality in some form or another because of this fear. For in order to commit to feeling good each moment again I must commit to rejecting the status quo fully, and of course no longer living the ‘tried and true’ is considered foolish.
So feeling good each moment again, sincerity, naïveté and the fear of appearing foolish all seem connected in an interesting way, this fear of appearing foolish is blocking the others, and boy it looks like if this obstruction is cleared a highway towards purity opens.
