Are you familiar with the concept of a counterweight? Elevators typically have a large mass about the same weight as the car that moves in opposition and serves to balance it, reducing the power requirements. This is standard engineering practice. Is there a human equivalent? You live in a world of commerce. This is not an evil thing, but it does have its own system of values it wants you to adopt. You also live in a spiritual world with a different system of values. Do you see that this serves as a counterweight to balance the pressure of the values of this world, giving you a spiritual refuge?
