Summary

This quote suggests that modern society is increasingly detached from the present moment and immersed in our own thoughts and memories. Instead of fully experiencing the liveliness and spontaneity of the external world, we are lost in our minds, consumed by ideas and fragments of past experiences. Our ability to appreciate the vibrant energy of the streets has been replaced by a tendency to rely on memories as a surrogate for direct sensory experience. Overall, this quote underscores the potential disconnect between our internal worlds and the external reality we inhabit.

Integrity is not a conditional word. It doesn't blow in the wind or change with the weather. It is your inner image of yourself, and if you look in there and see a man who won't cheat, then you know he never will.
