" "This kind of living in the fantasy of expectation rather than the reality of the present is the special trouble of those business men who live entirely to make money. So many people of wealth understand much more about making and saving money than about using and enjoying it. They fail to live because they are always preparing to live. Instead of earning a living they are mostly earning an earning, and thus when the time comes to relax they are unable to do so.

Additional quotes by Alan Watts
The way of Wisdom lies, therefore, in recognizing things which happen to you as your own karma — not as punishments for misdeeds or rewards for virtue (for there really is no “bad” or “good” karma), but as your own doing. For in this way you come to see that the real “you” includes both the controlled and the uncontrolled aspects of your experience.
Todėl neapleidžia jausmas, kad mes gyvename ypatingo nesaugumo laikotarpiu. Per pastarąjį šimtmetį iširo daugybė ilgai gyvavusių tradicijų: šeimos bei socialinio gyvenimo, valdžios, ekonominės santvarkos bei religinių įsitikinimų. Metams bėgant, rodos, lieka vis mažiau uolų, į kurias galėtume įsitverti, mažiau dalykų, kuriuos galėtume laikyti visiškai teisingais ir tikrais bei nekintamais.
