"The world is, as we are" - Yogi Maharishi.



Everyone will know if you have won a jackpot,
but a few will know if you have found God
in the misty mountains of Tibet.

People can tell you that you are doing fine,
while they know your mortgage will run
you bankrupt.

We know others' lives more and better than we know ours.

Welcome to the society we've made for ourselves...
