“Uno siempre acaba haciendo amigos nuevos y no es necesario quedarse con ellos día tras día. Cuando vemos siempre a las mismas personas (y esto pasa en el seminario) terminamos haciendo que pasen a formar parte de nuestras vidas. Y como ellas forman parte de nuestras vidas, pasan también a querer modificar nuestras vidas. Y si no somos como ellas esperan que seamos, se molestan.
