Nor is there any pleasure without equality. Practice equality in human society. Learn to love, esteem, consider all people like yourself.

We are becoming more restless, more impatient, more demanding, and more insatiable, even as we become more connected and creative. We are rapidly losing the ability to think long about any- thing, even those issues we care about. We flit, moving restlessly from one link to another.”
