Thought For Today 10 Jan 2022, J Krishnamurti

The action that approximates an ideal must inevitably breed conflict. If I act according to a formula, pattern or concept, I am always in a state of a division between the fact and what I should do about the fact. So there is never a complete action; it is always an approximation to an idea. Hence inherent in action, as we know it, is conflict, a waste of energy and therefore deterioration. I am asking myself if there is action without idea, in which there is no conflict. Or to put it differently: must action always breed struggle, conflict and effort?
