We Put Our Values In The Wrong

These Were People So Hungry For Love That They Were Accepting Substitutes. There Were Embracing Material Things And Expecting A Sort Of Hug Back. But It Never Works. You Can't Substitute Material Things For Love Or For Gentleness Or For Tenderness Or For A Sense Of Comradeship. Money Is No Substitute For Tenderness, And Power Is Not A Substitute For Tenderness. I Can Tell You As I'm Sitting Here Dying, When You Most Need It, Neither Money Nor Power Will Give You The Feeling You're Looking For, No Matter How Much Of Them You Have.

When You Look At It That Way, You Can See How Absurd It Is That We Individualize Ourselves With Our Fences And Hoarded Possessions.

We Have A Sense That We Should Be Like The Mythical Cowboy... Able To Take On And Conquer Anything And Live In The World Without The Need For Other People.

Dying Is Only One Thing To Be Sad Over... Living Unhappily Is Something Else.

You Don't Understand. You're Not A Wave. You're Part Of The Ocean.
