Convenience and desire is an absolutely sure way to keep moving (away from) the "values" in your life. Let me give an example - for most parts of my recent life - I like to be a vegetarian, but I eat eggs - and I justify it saying "eggs are sterile". I drink tea with milk, I eat cheese.....See the dissonance?
I eat fish oil Omega 3 regularly....and every single day....I tell myself I need it for my "weak" heart.
Get the drift?
Every time we dilute our values, we move the slider. The slider moves "me" away from an authentic value-driven life - leads to roots of unhappiness....and yet it moves me closer to power, wealth, and earthly goodness.
Very difficult choice....but I see the slider move every single day. And move away from my authentic values.
We all choose whats "in it" for us. And that road is a valve. It does not allow backtrack :-).
