"If you treat things instrumentally, if you treat people instrumentally, you use them as tools for your own desire.
And the problem with that is: what do you know about what you desire?
Many things that you chase will turn out to be empty.
Well, what happens, if you just tell the truth?
Well, the world will unfold around you in very strange and mysterious ways, and there isn't anything thats more exciting than that.
And it's perhaps something exciting enough so that the suffering that's attendant on being would redeem itself by that adventure.
And that's the call, that's the western call to the individual. The suffering of being can redeem itself through truth."
