If I say, I am jealous, the very verbalization of that fact, or of that feeling, has already conditioned it. Therefore I cannot see anything further in it. . . .

The successful people are not the ones who are building a new world. To be a real revolutionary requires a complete change of heart and mind, and how few want to free themselves. One is everlastingly comparing oneself with another, with what one is, with what one should be, with someone who is more fortunate. This comparison really kills. Comparison is degrading, it perverts one's outlook.
