46. Read the passage carefully and answer questions from 46 to 50.

Being value-centered is important to the experience of fulfillment in my life: Here the thought has the stamp of the core concept of 'Value-centered' and 'fulfillment'. This is good. However, it has yet not moved into creative imagination of how this can be made possible in reality. Thus, it runs the risk of becoming an opinion or simply. a nice thought. A value-centered life is tough in today's world. This thought formation could arise from a past experience where life was made difficult by being valuecentered. Also there could be stories and imagined scenarios being created in the mind. 'what if...'. 'what if not...'. etc. This could be related to the comfort-seeking nature of the senses and a part of the vital life-force that wants to take the easy way out. If one's core essential concept is fulfilment, these imaginary formations can be halted and the thought can be frozen. Now one can note that without the clarity that the core principle is 'fulfillment', this imagination will often be allowed to fashion and complete its formation.
