Going to a school or a university is a means to acquire a degree, a diploma, that is a means to acquire a job, a job is a means to acquire money, money is a means to purchase social security, and so on and so on. We are not concerned with living. Like chain smoking, its chain acquiring, acquisitive process. Go on acquiring. Acquire, own, possess, protect, and die in the end, feeling that you had acquired so much, and you had so much wealth, and you are leaving behind so much property.
Life is for living.
The purpose of life cannot be outside living. Life itself is divine, life is divinity, it is something sacred, and reverence for life is the perfume of religiosity. So there cannot be peace unless there is this radically, qualitatively different perspective of life, and therefore a different approach to life, and a different attitude to human issues, challenges, problems. It is moving from a fragmentary, partial, or compartmental perspective of life to a holistic perspective of life. It is moving from the dimension of the psychology of confrontation to the psychology of cooperation.
