I think, there are people for whom freedom is a bigger, more important thing than stability.
It's just amazing how hard it is for people to change, even when amazing things happen. It almost reinforces who you are instead of making you change.
The more you want something to happen, the harder it becomes.
Discussions of generations only go downhill. There's no point in having them.
TV is all about hair. And then skin. And then clothing. And then it's about your voice. And finally the report, what you're actually saying. And 99 times out of 100, it never gets past the hair.
In the old days people had far fewer channels in which to place their imaginative time. There's definitely more competition for time . . . and yet people seem to be reading [books] as much.
I think individual people are interesting, not really groups of people.
Nobody cares about worthiness. People care about what is real inside of you.

When the world throws you too much information, the only way you can stay sane or survive is to look for pattern recognition. Amidst all the blurs, is there a constellation that emerges, is there a straight line that's emerging. I think as long as you keep your mind in the palce where you're actively looking for patterns, you may not be safe, but you're going to feel safe, I think.
