"How are we going to make our livings in a society becoming increasingly jobless because of hi-tech and outsourcing?

It's not always about money because I been had money. I want to be on TV and win awards. I want to be number one. You need a label to get through barriers.”
“schools for love do not exist. everyone assumes that we will know how to love instinctively. despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, we still accept that the family is the primary school for love. those of us who do not learn how to love among family are expected to experience love in romantic relationships. however this love often eludes us.”
