Inability, unwillingness, to try to stay completely with what is is the source of conflict and suffering.

From this arises the urge to escape, to act, become, work more.

And then to escape from the work when it becomes too exhausting, frightening, overwhelming. I work too much and it's too stressful so I go to a pub in the evening to get wasted, drink, smoke, laugh and talk incessantly, cause my life is in chaos, it's hard to bear anymore.

Or maybe I identify with the poor or with some party or with my nation and believe that it's 'their' fault - those behind the border who steal from 'us', who want to attack 'us'. And it's still another escape.
