[Alan Watts]

When a human being shows extraordinary skill at something
It seems that it comes natural to him
It seems that he doesn't achieve it by any kind of artificiality
If there is some discipline in it, it's concealed
So, excelling in something naturally and yet it's something that is so difficult to understand that it seems that it has been done by magic

The reason why we are in such a mess is not, simply that we have wrong systems for doing things
Whether they be technological, political or religious but we have the wrong people
The systems may be all right but they are in the wrong hands because we are all in various ways self seeking, lacking in wisdom, lacking in courage
Afraid of death, afraid of pain
Unwilling really to cooperate with others
Unwilling to be open to others and we all think thats too bad
It's me thats wrong, and if only i could be the right person
Is this man going to tell me something that will help me to change myself
So that i will be a more creative and cooperative member of the human race
