在您要死之前，文化不会鼓励您考虑这些事情。我们对自负的事物，职业，家庭，有足够的钱，满足抵押，获得新车，在散热器破裂时修复散热器 - 我们如此参与数万亿个小动作，以继续前进。因此，我们不会养成站着回头看我们的生活的习惯，这是全部吗？这是我想要的吗？缺少东西吗？
(The culture doesn't encourage you to think about such things until you're about to die. We're so wrapped up with egotistical things, career, family, having enough money, meeting the mortgage, getting a new car, fixing the radiator when it breaks-- we're so involved in trillions of little acts just to keep going. So we don't get into the habit of standing back and looking at our lives and saying, is this all? Is this all I want? Is something missing?)
