THE ORIGINAL SIN continued

This example would amply clarify what we mean by “improper handling”.
Suppose we were to design a virtual self replica or what is popularly known as INTERNET AVATAR. We would make it the way we ourselves really want to be in the real world. Now suppose we engage ourselves the whole day and whole night in making this INTERNET AVATAR (virtual self replica) in attaining perfection for the INTERNET AVATAR and somehow get so lost into it that we start believing the INTERNET AVATAR as our real selves (seems too far fetched but just hang on a little while).
Now when we feel hungry we feed the INTERNET AVATAR with virtual food available in the virtual world, this gives momentary psychological relief due to our extremely strong sense of attachment of identity with this virtual self. But it will never subdue the hunger pangs of our real physical body. So the body again knocks us with hunger pangs. We get surprised because we had just had food (in the virtual world though). We again feed our virtual self in the virtual world (because of our total identification of identity with our virtual self and lack of remembrance of our real physical self) and this time we stuff ourselves to the throat. This time again we obtain some more momentary psychological relief. But soon enough the real physical body throws up severe hunger pangs that twist our intestines and now we start getting frustrated we don’t know what to do, we feel “oh come on I just stuffed myself twice in past one hour how can I still be hungry?, there must be something wrong with me I must see a doctor”. Now the real problem begins, the more we try to find the solution to this problem in the virtual world the more frustrated and depressed we would get because no solution would be forthcoming with lasting results. And our hunger of the real physical body would only keep getting worse.
Though very unrealistic and humorous SHOCKINGLY it is our own TRUE story.
This is what is meant by “improper handling” of SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE. We have lost ourselves in it so much so that it has become our whole identity, our entire life and instead of we using it (SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE ), it (SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE) is using us.
Forgetting our true self our INNATE INTELLIGENCE (/nature/self) and believing ourselves to be mere SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE alone is the ORIGINAL SIN the root of all our troubles, complexities and sufferings.
