Typically we think masochism is for 'strange' and very unbalanced people. We also think that we are not all that strange... However, looking closely and subtly we find that there are levels and degrees of masochism lurking within us.  These degrees of masochism exist in fact in the average person's psyche. These elements were created after the fall or played an active part in our fall. Let's have a look. To be enduring suffering when we have the tools to dissolve it is a degree of masochism. To be standing there receiving an ear bashing for free beyond the point is masochism. To be involved in making useless sacrifices is masochism. To put ourselves through intense efforts for others who don't care or won't take advantage or reciprocate for their inner progress is masochism. Furthermore we take attitudes of repentance of which we don't have sufficient comprehension that become and act of masochism. Masochism is something in the end mechanical powered by fals...

When an issue goes on for too long without a solution, and when the effects of the issue being unresolved  increases in negativity - the sense of injustice builds.

When we are negligent and careless these strong psychological storms get unleashed wreaking havoc in our psyche and work. To diffuse them, resort to the volitional and conscious work as the power. Conscious and volitional or deliberate action, has great currency and merit. Much more than passively waiting... Being always on the look out, working straight away diverts the storm. The storm comes to show us that we are out of touch with the reality of ourselves and we have become complacent and negligent. The message of every storm is: "back to work". End (6008).
