An addiction to knowledge develops when the child is first made to feel that “my feelings don’t matter.” The coping mechanism becomes a variation on “I will make my thoughts Important.”

When the child is denied the right to their feelings they are denied the ability to be proud of their existence. To say “I matter.”

They are forever presenting their achievements to surrogate parent figures in order to finally earn the right to exist. (As thoughts/feelings are the fundamental unit of consciousness)

When consciousness is denied the right to say that their feelings are important it pressurizes the desire to make its thoughts important.

Yet thoughts are never important. The words are never important, it is the message that is important. Self communicates through combinations of emotions. That’s all self is, a bundle of vibrating emotions.

The violin can be everything there is. Yet it cannot be the music.
