I don't despair at my failings. I am satisfied with myself.

And I don't put on an act of being kind of intellectual. That is a misinterpretation people often assign to people who simply want to discuss important concepts related to the important issues of human existence.

We have a bad habit in this country of celebrating things like shallow TV and sports, while seeing people who prefer intellectual curiosity as fools.

I am as flawed as anyone, but because I know it, I simply treat it as an unavoidable manifestation of the human condition. I seldom despair over it because I know it is unavoidable and we are all in the same boat. It is unavoidable in the big picture, so something to attend to as best as one can, but not despair.

I believe the most important objective in life is escaping the dogmatic illusion we are all born into. Most people do not even know they are living in an illusion of myths..

Once a person escapes the illusion they no longer judge themselves against other people or worry about their station in life.

If they believe they are doing the best they can, things like envy, or insecurity about their place in society, simply disappear.

As those are part of the illusion they escaped.

Growing worries about immigration in Sweden, which received a record 160,000 refugees in 2015, have boosted support for the hardline Sweden Democrats, echoing the rise of populist parties across Europe.

The YouGov poll gives the Sweden Democrats 23.9 per cent of support, in the lead ahead of the governing Social Democrats on 22 per cent of support.
