"I am able to control only that which I am aware of. That which I am unaware of controls me. Awareness empowers me."

Previous Quote

Once we are self-aware, we must choose purposes and principles to live by; otherwise the vacuum will be filled, and we will lose our self-awareness and become like groveling animals who live primarily for survival and propagation. People who exist on that level aren't living; they are "being lived".
