Do I wither up and disappear, or do I make the best of my time left?

Although you may be old or sick, it's not too late to take stock and ask yourself if you really are the person you want to be, and if not, who you do want to be.

Are you trying to be as human as you can be?

Maybe death is the great equalizer, the one big thing that can finally make strangers shed a tear for one another

We've got a form of brainwashing going on in our country…. Do you know how they brainwash people? They repeat something over and over. And that's what we do in this country. Owning things is good. More money is good. More property is good. More commercialism is good. MORE IS GOOD. MORE IS GOOD. We repeat it--and have it repeated to us--over and over until nobody bothers to even think otherwise. The average person is so fogged up by all this, he has no perspective on what's really important anymore.

The fact is, there is no foundation, no secure ground, upon which people may stand today if it isn't the family.

Because if you've found meaning in your life, you don't want to go back. You want to go forward.
