"أن الحب الناضج هو الوحدة، بشرط الحفاظ على تكامل الإنسان، الحفاظ على تفردية الانسان". - Erich Fromm

Man’s happiness today consists in “having fun.” Having fun lies in the satisfaction of consuming and “taking in” commodities, sights, food, drinks, cigarettes, people, lectures, books, movies — all are consumed, swallowed. The world is one great object for our appetite, a big apple, a big bottle, a big breast; we are the sucklers, the eternally expectant ones, the hopeful ones — and the eternally disappointed ones.

The quest for certainty blocks the search for meaning. Uncertainty is the very condition to impel man to unfold his powers.

Greedhas no satiation point, since its consummation does not fill the inner emptiness, boredom, loneliness, and depression it is meant to overcome.
