Are you living in a valley? Maybe not. But what makes a valley, and how big can it be?
Are those mountains in the distance?
You can spend your whole life walking through horizons to be sure that, so far, no, you haven't been trapped. Most people just have better things to do.
Most people don't want to be called 'fools' either. Walking through horizons is a risky thing, you may lose your footing any time. But the reward is great, when you return down and can credibly convince the valley people that they are fools to miss out on the beautiful meetings that take place on mountaintops.
The seven deadly sins:
Pride, wrath, sloth, lust, greed, envy, and gluttony.
The seven cardinal virtues:
Humility, meekness, zeal, chastity, generosity, charity, and temperance.
These were laws, but these are now suggestions, and touchstones.
I leave them before you as your tools.
I personally try to walk, because that's just what I prefer, but I can see why people don't. You end up far away from everything, without a tribe or much to show for your trouble.
Often times the truth is not what matters.
Walking away means that you can see what others cannot.
For you have earned them.
I see this now.
Karma is endemic to people. When you get close, it's inescapable.
Walking away ignites desire.
There is a thing that was said, the "middle way." That was the life of Gotama Bhuda, the prince of the Bhodi Tree.
Abandoning that, then you will have to do this alone. But I would still think well of you.
Getting high on your virtue is a bad thing.
More elegant to say "Taking pride in your virtue is a sin".
The cardinal virtues are different: there are four Cardinal virtues which come from classical philosophy (Wisdom, Courage, Justice, Moderation) and three theological virtues associated with Christianity (Faith, Hope, Charity). This set of seven is known as the heavenly virtues. These are a pretty good guideline in life, I find.
