And I can remember back another generation. The changes listed
below were not BIG changes from my youth but now much larger changes take
place in very short periods of time -- observe the pace of: TRAVEL,
computers/internet changes and connections, degredation (IMO) of
entertainment, frenetic activities, gambling (stock markets, lotteries,
casinos ..), drugs, etc. All of these have been around `forever'
but not in such concentration. What are we trying to escape
from?

INTERBEING, BY THICH NHAT HANH
FIFTH PRECEPT: LIVING SIMPLY
Do not accumulate wealth while millions are hungry. Do not take as
the aim of your life fame, profit, wealth, or sensual pleasure. Live
simply and share time, energy, and material resources with those who are
in INTERBEING.
