Umanageability Defined

Here are some thoughts on the meaning of unmanageability:

External Unmanageability - Problems with circumstances; personal relationships, finances, problems with jobs, problems with the law, problems with livelyhood like cars, home etc.

Internal Unmanageability - Unmanageable feelings, Spiritual Malady, Soul Sickness, missing something, not feeling complete, unable to achieve satisfaction, feeling less than or more than never just ok, A black hole inside, a great void, shame, guilt, blame, depression, etc.

Perspective Unmanageability - Unmanageability of the will, Unmanageability of the truth, Unmanageability of values, denial, delusion, old ideas, old belief systems, old conceptions, old motives; Decisions are made based on core values that are flawed. The way that I see things is erratic and inconsistent and reckless and unmanageable. The way that I make decisions is flawed because I am using old values that are not based on sound or consistent principles and I'm not able to discern the true from the false.
