"When we see objects existing in and of themselves, rather then being dependent on many circumstances, as they truly are, exaggeration sets in: If the object seems favorable, we become attached to it, thinking, 'This is really wonderful.' Once desire increases, anger will arise against whoever or whatever might interfere with our enjoyment. The problem is that both lust and hatred are based on bias, which makes true compassion impossible."- Dalai Lama, How to Be Compassionate, p. 35
Everything, including yourself, is dependent on many circumstances. You do not exist in and of yourself. You are the result of many factors and circumstances surrounding you. This must be acknowledged so that you can be aware of personal bias which is a twisted perspective and not the actual reality. "It is as it is." - The Law of Psychegnosis
