We're involved in trillions of little acts just to keep going.

We put our values in the wrong things. And it leads to very disillusioned lives.

What's wrong with being number two?

Keep your heart open for as long as you can, as wide as you can, for others and especially for yourself.

People are only mean when they're threatened… and that's what our culture does. That's what our economy does. Even people who have jobs in our economy are threatened, because they worry about losing them. And when you get threatened, you start looking out only for yourself. You start making money a god. It is all part of this culture.
