2019-02-1100 minFor The QulturesRemove The Ego"Ego-identification with things creates attachment to things, obsession with things, which in turn creates our consumer society and economic structures where the only measure for progress is always more. The unchecked striving for more, for endless growth, is a dysfunction and a disease. It is the same dysfunction the cancerous cell manifests, whose only goal is to multiply itself, unaware that it is bringing about its own destruction by destroying the organism of which it is a part of." - Eckhart Tolle.
