"Master, I have observed that most people have no goal in life."
"Excellent! What else can you say about it?"
"They have not the real goal. This is thus frustrating, and hence they invent goals. Wealth, status, position, in other words; applause. With no real goal, they want others to say how 'good' they are because that is what they always doubt. The man who sells shoes, aims at selling so many that he is the greatest, so that everybody knows. That has become his goal. It is to be seen in all layers of society, from milkman, teacher, police man, up to factory directors, ministers, presidents. They all are missing the Natural goal, hidden in the Way, therefore they adopt a false one. Many have even missed that solution and they just wait, they kill time, doing routine or playing cards, until pensioned, and then crated/cremated."
"How very right you are Sen Sei. Does not Warwick Deeping write: 'I have an object in life, I am to be envied' (Sorrell)? But think it all over again, but now from the point of view of 'CONTROL'." [11], [33], [80], [120]
