The Conflict between the Good and the Bad

Awareness of the Good and Bad is built into the Human psyche. And the conflict between the Two is killing millions of people.

You probably read these statements, without being moved by them. And said to yourself "So what? These are only abstractions, and have nothing to do with real life."

If you feel this way, you are entirely normal. Most people feel this way. And most people, you feel certain, cannot be wrong.

I can feel this way also, easily. But deep down, inside me - I know differently.

This conflict peaked out in the Nineties, when I was working in Silicon Valley. All of us there, knew something was terribly wrong. But we did not know what it was. And we were strongly encouraged not to know, what it was.

I had many therapists there, there were all kinds of them, and a new kind was invented every month, But none of them would state the obvious - that Silicon Valley was Bad. They were afraid of saying this - deathly afraid.

Why? Because anyone who felt this way. was unemployable. And without a job, you might was well be dead.

The first thing everyone wanted to know was "What do you do?" And everyone was ready with an easy answer.
