You think about yourself too much
And that gives you a strange fatigue
That makes you shut off the world around you
And cling to your arguments.
A light and amenable disposition is needed in order to withstand the impact and the strangeness of the knowledge I am teaching you.
Feeling important makes one heavy, clumsy, and vain.
To be a man of knowledge one needs to be light and fluid.
One has to reduce to a minimum all that is unnecessary in one's life.
~Carlos Castaneda's Don Juan
