"When you say, 'I am,' followed by any other words, you are already
trying to stand somewhere. Thereâs nowhere to stand in this whole dance.
You canât stand somewhere when you say, 'I am good.' There is stuff in
you that isnât so good. You say, 'I am young,' yet get old. 'I am
alive,' you will be dead. Every definition of yourself is a prison you
put yourself in, seemingly to protect yourself. But it ends up creating
anxiety and fear. Most of the behavior that our society performs is
motivated by fear. And it is the fear of what is.
