suffering as coagulation

Do you know why we suffer? It is because we are coagulated; we believe in certainty. As Francisco Varela has put it, we create a world, "forget we have done so, and then...fixate on it as certainty." Then we get angry because others are not going along with our creative design. We think they are mean, stupid, immoral, and a threat. The last is true. They threaten our world, and like Yahweh of old, we are ready to smite, to kill all "that piss against the wall," and the squatters too. This flaming of rage, of anger, of righteous indignation burns our butts. We smolder and blaze in our self-created hell of coagulated certainty. This has become our identity and we will not let it go. This is the plight of the beef-on-beef approach to life.
