Transcript
00:01Mama, where is Aldi?
00:07Middle class families, they would not throw anything away.
00:11I know of a queer case.
00:12They were storing empty toothpaste.
00:18Even they don't know.
00:19There's going to be no real tangible use ever.
00:23Why don't you periodically clean up your phone directory?
00:26What are you storing those contacts for?
00:28And how is that very different from the person who was storing that empty toothpaste tube?
00:33That contact is empty.
00:35That tube has nothing.
00:37That's the question that the ego must be asked.
00:39What for are you storing all this?
00:42That's the ego for you.
00:43So empty, so afraid, so insecure and so ignorant of itself that it cannot drop anything.
00:50When the ego is healthy, dropping happens without effort, without plan.
00:56Dropping doesn't have to be practiced.
00:58Wait a minute.
00:58We all Π½Ρƒ Π½Π΅Ρ‚.
00:58Stop that.
00:58But wait a minute.
00:59Whatever you got there.
