What happens when we start believing the world and what is important in it are only these reactions and prejudices? What kind of gulag is it when its inhabitants are too stupid to understand they are its prisoners?

About This Quote

The world is a very mysterious and mysterious place. There is so much we do not understand and so many things we cannot see. The face of the world we see is based on the reactions and prejudices we have. If we start to believe they are the only things that matter, we will have no idea what is really going on in the world.

We will be so blind that even when something devastating happens to us, it will be hard for us to see what is really happening. The world will become a living hell for us. We will not know what to do because it will be impossible for us to understand the true nature of the world.
