yeah the second translation is just as good as mine... not as cryptic either lol...
personally, i think there are meditative reasons why not going along with the 'collective mind' face value assessment might be smart here... for me it goes beyond the simplicity of simply 'looking within' although that is certainly a part of it
I also think that I have trouble sometimes, talking can sometimes seem like pouring my life essence out on the floor. I could sense, that at the extreme I would pour my entire self out and then I'd also lose all hope and die. And I also have this ongoing feeling, that life would be much easier if I wouldn't be so vocal. But at this point I'm neither willing to take the advice that comes in a couple of places and just shut up entirely. I feel like there is more to life than just doing the most 'efficient' thing possible I guess.
