The gentleman puts me in mind of an old hen which persists in setting after her eggs are taken away.
I push every day against forces that say you have to go faster, be more effective, be more productive, you have to constantly outdo yourself, you have to constantly outdo your neighbor - all of the stuff that creates an incredibly productive society, but also a very neurotic one.
To gain what is worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else.
