• Why do we get fixated on failing when that makes it worse? Because we want the pride of knowing evil (bad or wrong) more than we want success.
• How do we know evil? We know both good and evil by giving our identity to some knowledge of good or evil.
• Why does giving our identity to knowledge convince us that we know? Because by identifying with something we claim it, contain it, have it, own it, possess it; and, psychologically, we are it.
• Why is claiming to know so important to us? Because such claims are the basis for ego, pride, and high self-esteem a.k.a. ego pleasure.
• What can we do instead? We can surrender our ego, stop claiming to know, and give all glory and praise to God alone.
