Science Environment Climate Change Desertification
Dokładnie tu i teraz jesteś szczęśliwy, ale o tym nie wiesz, ponieważ twoje fałszywe zapatrywania, twój zniekształcony obraz rzeczywistości zamknęły cię w pułapce lęków, niepokojów, przywiązań, konfliktów, poczucia winy; wreszcie w całej gamie ról które odgrywasz, ponieważ tak zostałeś zaprogramowany. Gdybyś potrafił spojrzeć dalej niż sięga to wszystko zrozumiałbyś, że jesteś szczęśliwy, tylko o tym nie wiesz.
— Anthony de Mello
