Question
Please, Mr. Kosen, I need help… I no longer really know where I stand. For the past few years my whole life has been a constant running away. I do not know what to do with my existence. I set off down paths that will lead nowhere, become completely demotivated, and this ends up feeding bitterness, melancholy, despair, and above all self-hatred…
And I sink deeper.
I cannot even convince myself anymore that I am a good person who deserves to live…
It is a vicious circle that feeds itself and never stops.
Please, how can I resolve this?
Should I give priority to intuition??

Stop giving priority to emotion and identifying with it. Take a little distance and smile as you observe yourself suffering, because you are not that, only its spectator. Do not get caught up in the game, and do not take yourself seriously.
