We inherited it. That deserves respect.</p> <p>Today we have everything. Information. Choice. Comfort. Stimulation without end. And we lose: depth. Quiet. Space in the mind.</p> <blockquote> <p>Whoever has everything must learn to have nothing.</p> </blockquote> <p>Jesus went into the desert. Mohammed into the cave. Both had nothing for a while. Only then came what we know them for.</p> <p>In the emptiness the gaze becomes clear. Without noise one hears what is one&rsquo;s own. Without possessions the hands are free.</p>
