so many factors muscling in to influence us one way or another, and people we care about and cherish trying to lead us along their own perceived "better" paths.

so many factors working to influence us, enlightenment would at first seem counter productive due to the fact that we are not used to it.

we so swiftly let it go in fear that it would cause more harm than good.
