“You know, the problem is we’re very gullible, we’re very suggestible. We come to the world as little children, we grow up and we see our parents chasing around, we see our friends, who are so active in this and that and we immediately become worshipers of activity. And never questioning what that is all about: the activity of commerce, of religion, of getting married, the activity of running around in this world, trying to find something to do with ourselves — until strangely enough we come to worship activity itself. Doing something, that seems to be the object of everyone’s life. And all these activities, where do they lead?
Well, I’ll ask you and you tell me. All this chasing around, all this running that you do – has it ever lead you to anything except more confusion, except for the need for another activity, a new man in your life, a new woman, a new place to go to, an occupation, a new hobby. And all the time way back in our mind is indeed the question, ‘What is it all about?’
Why don’t we bring the question out into the open? Why don’t we examine what’s going on inside of ourselves, as a scientist, to see what’s going on within in our minds and emotions, in an attempt to understand ourselves to see what might be beyond the heartache?”
