Have you noticed, in newspapers
and magazines, the amount of space given to politics, to the sayings of
politicians and their activities? Of course, other news is given, but political
news predominates; the economic and political life has become all-important. It
is so much easier to throw oneself into social and political activity than to
understand life as a whole; to be associated with any organized thought, with
political or religious activity, offers a respectable escape from the pettiness
and drudgery of everyday life.
With a small heart you can talk of big things and of the popular leaders; you can hide your shallowness with the easy phrases of world affairs; your restless mind can happily and with popular encouragement settle down to propagate the ideology of a new or of an old religion.
(Krishnamurti)
