  In spite of all semblance to the contrary we have not progressed much further than the primitive man.
  Our tools have changed, our technique has changed - but our motives have remained unchanged - we seek freedom, total freedom, absolute freedom.
  And yet we are unwilling to pay the price - self-discipline.

  But can I live in relation with others all the time and yet be inwardly watchful always?

  There are people who are always complaining that they do not find a person worthy of helping or giving to.
  They will never find one!

  Does the earth produce food only to be eaten by the deserving?
  Which one of us truly deserves all the blessings one enjoys?
