I have a dilemma

[Navaratna]

I do think this generation is kind of mindless. 'I need to make many many thousands of dollars to have a minimally comfortable lifestyle and that is all that matters' and you can't blame them for thinking that way because there are few options to escape it.

Meditate on a candle flame that is my advice. It helps to dissolve tension.

I think I've seen a lot of people get frustrated and act like they need to go do something explosive or angry to get it out of their system. I think the riots on the news we're witnessing right now have a lot to do with people being frustrated and having an excuse to go nuts. If life was 'ordinary' right now I bet most people would just be busy with their lives.

Instead focusing on fire, the practice of pyromancy is an intensely energetic and purifying outlet for frustrations and passions. Focusing on flames helps me burn restlessness away.
