I am trying to compile. If I got that right. That a sort of equilibrium is reached is possible. With effort perhaps. Don't you think for most, it's more like any other drug trip? And what generates the euphoria the first time, isn't going to do so easily the next time. So it might as easily take one off the cliff?No doubt, experiencing strong emotions strengthens the sensation of being a conscious, seemingly independent self. Do you think some people who revel in strong emotions do so because generating them refreshes the feeling of self-sufficiency in origination of thoughts and feelings, of being an independent self? Could such a renewed feeling of independence in turn act enable a bold persuasion, a feeling of one's ownership of something external, something dependent? And could the reinforcement of that feeling of ownership vindicate the feeling of independence associated with the origination, forming a self-stabilizing loop? Is this how the feeling of ownership and strong emotions are interrelated?
Not at all sure when and if balance will be achieved, or when it will not. Or who pay the cost of the euphoria. I would think balance is more often achieved that route. That the materialization of ones strong feelings comes from the 'ownership' being taken from someone else. Resources is gained, and self sufficiency ensured.
Haven't thought enough about this enough to make a guess as to what takes what paths. Your proposal is interesting though. Makes it sound positive
