You are arguing with "what is." Your demands keep you chained to the "dream state" of the conditioned mind. The desire to "control" is, ultimately, our unwillingness to just be awake. ~Adyashanti

I while I write, you while you read, and others while they listen or stop their ears, they are all dying. ~Petrarch
