pontificate

Most of us get bogged down due to our conditioned responses to various stuff. So does that mean we start afresh, anew? Like bruce lee said, 'empty our minds'? While nature has us wired to think of conditioned responses as useful and utilitarian, it certainly, for the most part, makes us dull,stupid, dogmatic and perhaps unhappy.

Emptying my mind, although I rarerly can do it now, is certainly a very good idea, I realize that... maybe it's not for say a lion in the perfect previously made wild - but certainly for the human, in his imperfect man made world...

Yes conditioned response does make you unhappy eh?
Like the one who wants a Lamborghini, but when he got it, he's so used to the hankerings of wanting that he somehow realizes that what he actually wanted was a Ferrari... what a tragedy.
The level of tragedy itself has fallen!
