Quote

People are fed up with seeing the same thing over and over. They want a qualitative change.

People are rapidly losing hope and trust. They believe their government has been captured by special interests and no longer cares about them, and they are right.

People suffer because they are caught in their views. As soon as we release those views, we are free and we don't suffer anymore.

Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm. But the harm does not interest them.

People can be so apathetic. They continue to ignore the real people trapped in poverty and homelessness. It's almost maddening.

Politically, the world is so confused right now - there's so much suffering caused by various movements by various parties and people in power in government.

Some people are filled by compassion and a desire to do good, and some simply don't think anything's going to make a difference.

The violent rioting that is sometimes now being called protesting - it makes the emotions so high that you almost cannot see the insults and injuries that are the people are suffering.

People are sad. People are broke. People are worried about money, people are worried that they're not enough and not amounting to anything and they don't feel good about themselves. People have rough times, and everybody's pretending it's not true, and we need to break that veneer.

So people have been hurting and I understand that. And it doesn't give them comfort or solace for me to tell them, you know, but for me, we would be in a worldwide depression.
