'Nature' has long provided us, with the mental image, and metaphor, of a frog contentedly 'resting' in a 'pot' being brought, to a 'slow boil'.. until its' doom.
Also, the 'Good Book' says to "Test All spirits".. as Not every 'spirit' presenting itself, as 'Truth' is actually so! -- We have many examples, of 'false'/phony, 'Messiahs' .. claiming to be the {only}, Way!
That, phenomenon.. at times, even makes itself known, on this web-site's 'bb' threads - But if one isn't discerning, in that respect.. They may end up 'praising' someone, for their posted, idea contributions - Rather, than using the 'biblical' approach, of 'separating, the bone, from-the-marrow'.. with their indwelt, adopted knowledge-and-discernment! o:

is it alright for a person to find false peace which makes sense to him and not seek the true peace ?
False peace, that's right. Only you say it's false, they haven't seen that. So suffering continues.

Well. That's my question really. It depends what you want maybe. Like if you want to actually know the truth or you just want to be comfortable.
You can only know the image of truth, Tom. But the image of truth is one thing and truth another.

Knowing works only through images, knowledge, memory. The image of truth.

Anyway time to see what's on the other side. What's beyond the end of the rainbow. At the end of the rainbow I found an empty bucket and now I'm exploring what's after that.
One cannot go beyond the end of the rainbow. One must know their limits. And the desire to go beyond it is unhappiness with the rainbow, which desire is an attempt to escape from it, which escape is also a part of it!
The rainbow has no escapes. Therefore, don't try to go beyond.

A quote, that's both 'Stolen', And 'Authentic'!
You mean infatuation, got it. And
not only this infatuation, but nothing lasts, like the silly vows one takes when getting married. Which are the expression of insecurity: there are no guarantees in life.

Knowing works only through images, knowledge, memory. The image of truth.
So, to continue, remove the images, remove the knowing and truth is there.
