“In this way, we end up spending (as Thoreau put it) “the best part of one's life earning money in order to enjoy a questionable liberty during the least valuable part of it.” We'd love to drop all and explore the world outside, we tell ourselves, but the time never seems right.

Settling into our lives, we get so obsessed with holding on to our domestic certainties that we forget why we desired them in the first place.” WorldWayFirstsEndsSeemsOrderChoicesGivenEnjoyForgetLibertyOur LivesAmountValuableSpendingCertaintySettlingObsessedEarningUnlimitedHolding OnQuestionableEarning Money Author:Rolf Potts

“Realizing that our minds control our bodies while our bodies reflect our minds amounts to understanding the most fundamental aspects of ourselves. It further equals a comprehension of the relationship between our "tools." And since the mind and body are interrelated, this understanding makes it easier to see why coordinating them is a practical way of using these tools to greatest effect-a way of using the mind and body to live our lives as art.” WayMindArtBodyUnderstandingRealizingOur LivesMeditationEffectsAmountEasierAspectToolsFundamentalsPracticalsMind And BodyComprehensionMind ControlCoordinating Author:H.

“In the Western world there isn't much value given to the necessity for just being quiet. And just resting, and just being, without a focus or a goal.

“...there are two (inter alia) two ways of ruining a society - namely, letting the market "be the sole director of the fate of human beings," and allowing technology to permeate every aspect of our lives. In the United States, both of these developments have converged, creating a huge chasm between rich and poor and pushing us over the edge into a kind of antisociety...

“Our philosophy about activity and our attitude about hard work will affect the quality of our lives. What we decide about the rightful ratio of labor to rest will establish a certain work ethic.
