Well, when you do something you don't enjoy and you show up without protest, you're kind of lying with your life. You're lying with your actions. And little kids won't do that. They will scream their lungs out if they're taken to a place they hate. And we just beat it out of them. Well, don't beat them anymore, but a lot of people have been beaten for it.

And it's ironic because what they're doing is they're following an evolutionary imperative to find what's right for them by following a sense of enjoyment. It's that simple. But the culture we live in does not really teach us to do that.

The first thing is that please direct compassion to the parts of yourself that are in pain. I was at war with my own pain. I was so angry at it for keeping me, because I was highly active before that. And I directed hatred and violence at it internally.

When I learned to meditate, which that's another thing that I would really, really advise, the one thing I decided I could do in that situation, the one thing I could learn was meditation. And so I started. And I sort of got into it before the general public sort of adopted it in the United States. And I'm really grateful that I did.

What I would say to another person, though, is first, be kind, be kind, be kind to the parts of you that are hurting.

And when you are forced to go infinitely inward, you find that the inner space is as vast and interesting and full of information and experience as the outer space.
