You are both quite in the habit of asking what is wrong—not only in terms of Ruburt’s difficulties, but generally speaking. It is difficult to explain what I want to because of your own beliefs and significances that you sometimes form. The young man (see the 816th session proper) was really comparing his life and the earth unfavorably with an idealized imagined world, to which he could never return. Just about everything in his experience seemed wrong, and his experience seemed thrust upon him—an exaggerated case, of course.
Yet in a way you each do the same thing, taking it for granted as a fact of existence that there is something wrong with each of you. You should have produced much more and much better art than you have. This seems to be a fact, so that you find yourself blaming yourself at times. There is definitely something wrong with Ruburt. Otherwise he would be walking properly. Ruburt would be walking properly if he did not believe there was something wrong with him.
