00:00Doctors prescribing anxiety pills or depression pills incessantly.
00:04Is that the right way of addressing the problem?
00:09How can anti-anxiety pills work for someone?
00:13When you take these pills, at most they can address the brain.
00:19The mind is composed of tendencies, thoughts, emotions.
00:25The mind cannot just get sick on its own.
00:27You'll have to question our economics, our education, our social institutions, our politics, everything.
00:34And because we don't want to question all that,
00:37and because there are powerful forces whose self-interests are being served by these institutions,
00:44therefore no proper inquiry is being made.
00:48There has to be self-love, there has to be courage,
00:50one has to say it's alright to be devastated and destroyed,
00:56but it's not alright to keep healing moment by moment the way I do.
01:02If I have to be destroyed, let me be destroyed at least in some great pursuit.
01:07Why am I being destroyed in the pursuit of trivia and trash?
01:13Those questions need to be asked.
