Life is what we each and all are choosing to make of it - now and now - regardless our circumstances.
The intent to empower victimhood rather than serve the awareness of the capacity to make choices with regard to improving perspectives and conditions, is to effect sympathy as a mask for manipulative agenda. Instead of asking for or extending love.
Compassion is the capacity to be with what is present, as an active willingness to join in strength and support in any opportunity of shared willingness.
False sympathy seeks escape from what it cannot abide by framing in emotional appeals that seem to join but actually separate as a sense of control, distance and manipulation.
This facet of our human conditioning is perhaps the most in need of honest awareness, because the learned habit of sacrificing honesty to a form of 'correctness; is exactly the vector of our being delivered into deceits - such as work backwards.

Manipulative opportunism makes its home in our fears. A recognition of separation trauma is the timely opportunity of its revisiting and release. But the use of grief and grievance to re-enact separation trauma as if to get even, is its recycling in ever depleting cycles - that is then used as justification for ever tighter controls and ever greater sacrifice of freedom.
The recent poster to the magic bullet idea is simply to the idea of magical solution which is wishful thinking given power as avoidance of the unthinkable. This can be any form of treatment - and the orthodox may simply represent the current socially invested belief - with its failures chalked up to the 'power of the disease' and thus the call to persist the official treatment - else the evil will ravage unchecked because any other belief or approach is the 'quack' to the billion dollar invested corporate authority. Especially if it not only works, but undermines the belief in the 'incurable' as a cause to keep pumping billions of dollars into - along with traumatised people pushed to 'act now or else!
The magic, or manipulation of appearances, is already in the 'model' and the diagnosis that proceeds from it. If a wrong turn is taken - everything else can then extend the error no matter how honourable their intent or how intense the devotion to its cause.
Our current science stands on the shoulders of giant mistakes that have been capitalised by corporate manipulative intent under which the many believe to be their guide and protector.
One cannot build anything stable on wishfully manipulative foundations. Mistaken investments call to be written off and released for freedom to be restored to legitimate creative endeavour. Imagination has a vital role in the science of our appreciation and relation to our world - within an integrative expression or solution. Not the conforming and complying of life to a tyranny of fear and grievance.
