I think in the Western world we have gotten overly identified with doing, and we've kind of forgotten about the art of being. And we don't see value in it; we think that if you're not doing something all of the time, being very active and producing something, then you're sort of wasting your time.

Evil (ignorance) is like a shadow-- it has no real substance of its own, it is simply a lack of light.
