You have to listen so simply, so innocently, that the other person brings about a change in you that makes you say it and informs the way you say it.

A person who has been seduced by the consumer value system, whose identity is dissolved in an amalgam of the accouterments trappings of mass civilization, and who has no roots in the order of being, no sense of responsibility for anything higher than his own personal survival, is a demoralized person.
