" Look at the net and its many contradictions.
You do and undo every step.
You want love, peace and happiness and
work hard to create pain, hatred and war "
You want longevity and overeat
You want friendship and exploit.
See your net as made of such contradictions
and remove them
Your very seeing will make them go"
