This is the root of all evil.
The evil we endure, and the evil we ensure, comes from the same source. Consciousness of the perception of others.
A child who is unaware of the perception of others lives free. As conditioning around perception is started by society, manipulation of perception becomes prioritised, and evil takes root. Even the things that were previously sincerely done, become tainted by motive.
You cannot ignore the perception of others in any society. It is how societies keep everyone in line. Some cultures call it law.
You can prioritise the untainted expression of self. Keeping it as a prism for your choices and tradeoffs. A continual process of returning to the freedom of your childhood.
