"One's complete sentences are attempts, as often as not, to complete an incomplete self with words."

Previous Quote

When each thought absorbs your attention completely, it means you identify with the voice in your head. Thought then becomes invested with a sense of self. This is the ego, a mind-made "me." That mentally constructed self feels incomplete and precarious. That's why fearing and wanting are its predominant emotions and motivating forces.

— Eckhart Tolle
