In The Fullness
Many times people cry because they find things too beautiful. What makes them cry is not the desire to own them, but that deep melancholy we feel for everything that is not, for everything that does not reach its fullness…

I see a lot of potential, but it’s wasted. A whole generation working at gas stations, serving tables, or being office slaves… We are the cursed children of history, uprooted and aimless, we have not suffered a great war, nor a depression. Our warfare is spiritual warfare, our great depression is our life.. We grew up with television that made us believe we would someday be millionaires, movie gods, or rock stars. But we will not be, and we understand it little by little, which makes us very angry.

The spiritual journey is not a career or success story. It is a series of small humiliations of the false self that become more and more profound.

Before our white brothers arrived to make us civilized men,
We didn’t have any kind of prison. This is why we had no criminals.
Without a prison, there can be no criminals.
