“We have been ruthlessly conditioned to think we can find fulfillment in possessions, to love things rather than people – so much so that, when we feel an emptiness in our hearts, we go to shopping centers to fill up. I am all for living in reasonable comfort, but when I go to shopping centers, I cannot help getting alarmed. Not at the money that is being wasted – there is enough money in this country to waste. But there isn't enough will to waste. There isn’t enough energy to waste. When we hear of the energy crisis, this is it. All our vitality, energy and drive is sapped and undermined by the constant propaganda: go after this, go after that.”
