When ideas get brought into the real world, there's always a distortion that happens, as if the reality in which we live can't accommodate the ideal. Everything very pure and good becomes somehow malevolent. Everything excellent in theory becomes vicious in practice.
It also works the other way. Circumstances and events that seem really unfortunate and difficult can give us an opportunity of personal transformation. The way that seems comfortable and easy and pleasant is actually treacherous and dangerous. In this world, everything that seems like an escape is a trap.
Often, the best thing you can do to get what you want is to stop trying to get it. It's almost like a law...the moment you stop striving for a goal it happens. That act of stopping - of not trying - somehow releases the thing.
