Just metaphysics


A predominant metaphysical perspective is that we all have some kind of inner self-determination or free will that others are free to engage with or reason with, in such a way that if you are really sincere, or really logical, of you have merit, others are bound to get into synch with you, and thus you become very dominant, or very beloved, and you reap lots of rewards.

Actually, there is nothing in the universe to indicate that it is internally structured in this way. Not even is the universe structured to assure good communication if we use the same words or have good intentions. Rather, there are deeper structural factors pertaining to each individual that can prevent good communication, even where there is good will to communicate effectively. As well as this, people can and do get upset if you step on some aspect of who they are that isn’t fully formed yet (hence vulnerable).
