that when perceived from one angle, everything is infinitely unworkable; it is impossible to be anything but stuck, any attempt to unstick will just get you more stuck.  the kind of experience you can have in conversation where attempting to clarify just leads to more misunderstanding and attempting to get samesided just leads to more distrust.  or the kind of experience you can have while working with a physical thing where it gets a little out of place and attempting to adjust it breaks something and attempting to fix that breaks 3 other things.

and when perceived from another angle, everything is infinitely workable; it is impossible to be stuck; wherever you are there is a move that will unstick you and it is possible for you to find it.

> Karma is associated with the emotion of jealousy, envy, and the element of wind. However, the terms jealousy and envy are not powerful and precise enough to describe the quality of karma. “Absolute paranoia” probably is a good phrase. You feel that you are not going to achieve any of your goals. You become irritated by the accomplishments of other people. You feel left behind and cannot bear to see others surpass you. This fear, this distrust of oneself, is connected with the element of wind. Wind never blows in all directions but it blows in one direction at a time. This is the one-way view of paranoia or envy. Karma is connected with the wisdom of all-accomplishing action. The quality of paranoia falls away but the qualities of energy, keenness to action, and openness remain. In other words, the active aspect of wind is retained so that one’s activity touches everything in its path. One’s action is appropriate because it does not involve self-conscious panic or paranoia anymore. It sees the possibilities inherent in situations and automatically takes the appropriate course. It fulfills the purpose.
