A true prophet is a truth-teller, one who sees and names things for what they really are, not for what we want them to be. They're often unpopular for their claims, because they challenge the false constructs of a culture that it tries to use to distract itself from dealing with its real issues. But even if the truths such prophets claim aren't necessary pleasant, they do present an opportunity for liberation: from the illusion that suffering or pain is your fault; from the misconception that the goal of life is personal satisfaction;INSULTING ,,NAME CALLING ,from the wasted time, energy and money expended on trying to achieve such nonexistent aspirations.
You can try to be perfectly happy, or you can be free from the suffering that comes with believing you can -- or even should -- be perfectly happy. And only one of them works.
