The voice that says, “That’s the way I am, ” is the voice of knowledge. It’s the voice of the liar living in the Tree of Knowledge in your head.

The symptoms of the disease are fear, anger, hatred, sadness, jealousy, conflict, and separation between humans. Again, these lies are controlling the dream of our life. I think this is obvious.
