Things that are absolutely rubbish keep on occupying important places in our minds and, therefore, in our lives. Stuff that you would never value at all if you were not so heavily conditioned comes to become the center of your life. And when you are asked, “But why is this important?” you have no answer; you just say, “But it is!”
The moment somebody comes to a point in a discussion where he is left with just this line, “But that’s how things happen, that’s the way the world runs!” you know the fellow is heavily conditioned and doesn’t even want to acknowledge that. He has no answer to why such a thing must be important, why such a thing must be done. All that he says is, “That’s the way things run!”
