        In general I agree.
        But it’s hard not to feel these emotions when around you, corrupt politicians, speculators, people without morals destroy everything you have.

        Yes. Self-pity is the worst in that lineup I think. It feeds the others, IMO.

        Now isn’t that a different kind of puzzle?!

        Greetings and peace.

        Hi Susan Polgar,

        Yes,agreed but to the converse : The corrupt mind harbors these attitudes “Greed,hatred,Self pity,fear and delusion”.

        So the reason for having corrupt mind,may be as “Stef” said the influence of the surroundings.

        The way to solve this is,get isolated from external wrong influence and as an individual,be as an example to exhibit the humane and prefect balance towards life,which may influence others that in turn reduce “Greed,hatred,self-pity,fear and delusion” in society.
