“We invented a mountain of superfluous needs, shopping for the new, discarding the old. . . that is wasting our lives!  When I buy something, or you do, you’re not paying for it with money.  You’re paying with the time for living that you had to spend to earn that money, but with this difference:  life is the one thing money can’t buy.  Life only passes by.  And it’s miserable to waste one’s life losing your freedom.”
