We are part and parcel of reality, and must exist within it's 'rules' and 'demands' upon all things. This might make reality seem oppressive, but when a person 'sees clearly' reality is discovered to be loving and compassionate (it gives without limitation).
Oppressive 'reality' is conceptual. It comes from the contradictions a person recognizes between what s/he desires reality to be, and what it IS. It makes no difference that our views of reality are less compassionate and loving than reality IS. A person comes into conflict with reality BECAUSE IT ISN'T THEIR VIEW OF IT ('this isn't how I want it now' thinking).
Peace,
Matthew
