Our life is a mechanical life. It's not human, it's programmed, conditioned.

Our life is a mechanical life. It's not human, it's programmed, conditioned. We might as well be a stone, a block of wood. We can go to the movies, drive around in a car, we can go for a cruise. Do we think we are much better off than we are? We have become are just as dead as we can be. Just as much a machine as we are --  a machine nevertheless. That's sad. It's sad to think that we go through life like this.
We go through life with fixed ideas; we never change. We're just not aware of what's going on. We might as well be a block of wood, or a rock, a talking, walking, thinking machine. That's not human. We are puppets, jerked around by all kinds of things. Press our button and we get a reaction. You can almost predict how this person is going to react. don't listen to those who say to us, "Forget ourself! Go out in love to others." Don't listen to them! They're all wrong. The worst thing we can do is forget ourself when we go out to others in the so called helping attitude.
