In Henry Miller's "The Air-Conditioned Nightmare," he emphasizes that Earth is inherently a Paradise, not a deception or confinement. He suggests that our perception defines our experience; we must open our eyes to truly see the beauty around us. The author argues that rather than transforming the world, it's essential to improve ourselves to appreciate and coexist with its paradisiacal nature.
Miller points out that individuals with violent intentions or a negative mindset, like those who harbor murder in their hearts, are unable to recognize this Paradise. Their destructive outlook blinds them to the beauty of the world, suggesting that our inner state greatly influences how we perceive our surroundings and our ability to appreciate life.
