Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

(When discussing true desire as opposed to chasing money and not truly living how we would like to. And raising our children to do the same. The entire speech is called "What do you desire?)

"See what we are doing, is we’re bringing up children and educating them to live the same sort of lifes we are living. In order that they may justify themselves and find satisfaction in life by bringing up their children to bring up their children to do the same thing, so it’s all retch, and no vomit. It never gets there"

And so, therefore, it’s so important
to consider this question: What do I desire?

Alan Watts
