In a state-run society the government promises you security. But it's a false promise predicated on the idea that the opposite of security is risk. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The gentle government that promises to hold your hand as you cross the street refuses to let go on the other side

Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames.
For what we call illusions are often, in truth, a wider vision of past and present realities --a willing movement of a man's soul with the larger sweep of the world's forces --a movement towards a more assured end than the chances of a single life.

You have seen your own strength.
You have seen your own beauty.
You have seen your golden wings.
Of anything less,

You are in truth
the soul, of the soul, of the soul
Whatever games are played with us, we must

Truth is inner harmony.
