We think "careous" make us happy, cars make us happy, money makes us happy, fame and name and all makes us happy. I mean, we don't need so much but it has been propagated that we need a house, everybody needs a mortgage, and you've got to serve that mortgage, you've got to go to 9 to 5 and we become slaves. The slaves of the system that is in the end creating quite some stress and we are only able to survive, not to express ourselves creatively as who we are and what we are or we are. What's a realistic alternative when I lived in that society, first I lived outside of living in a squat, that was enough for me to have my own identity connected in my thinking, my mind. And then I went into society, it was horrible to find. Because suddenly I had to live in a flat with kids and my wife deteriorated mentally and she took her own life in 95 and she jumped from eight stories down. That was the life I was in and society just keeps on going like a train. Yes, yes, yes, no emotion, yes, no feeling.
