We are full of craving, always running after things. We want to become a director or president of a company, we want to buy a beautiful car or a nice house, or go on an exotic vacation. We do not see that the world we are living in, driven by craving and delusion, is like a burning house.
–Thich Nhat Hanh, Opening the Heart of the Cosmos: Insights on the Lotus Sutra, p. 33.
