Nothing Wrong with You At All

“What I am really saying is that you don’t need to do anything, because if you see yourself in the correct way, you are all as much extraordinary phenomenon of nature as trees, clouds, the patterns in running water, the flickering of fire, the arrangement of the stars, and the form of a galaxy. You are all just like that, and there is nothing wrong with you at all.”

 ― Alan Watts

Nothing Should Be Built on Greed

"We live in a society where everyone takes it for granted that everyone will be greedy, angry and deluded. And the society is actually arranged to take advantage of that. It becomes not only the norm but it's also encouraged. How many times have people complained that if you are content with very little, the economy will collapse. Well, if the economy is built on greed, anger and delusion, maybe it should collapse."
