it’s quite beautiful that we’ve been designed to be unhappy if we lie a lot
The most common mental health symptom I see in my patients is behavioral frozenness. You want to do something that you clearly have the capacity to do, and instead you stare at pointless screen content you're incapable of shutting off, or otherwise waste time, indefinitely.
Not even just insight porn, there's sooo much wishful thinking passing as spiritual, none of which is a direct experience but simply beliefs, which is the exact opposite of true spirituality. It's crazy how far the mind will go into fantasy under the banner of truth.
