The president of my business school gave a speech today. Didn't bother talking about business. Here is a totally made-up conversation between us:
Me: Buongiorno, sir! Nice to meet you. How are you?
Him: Pain ... love ... hatred ... these are all mere feelings that reflect upon the outer world that which is occurring within yourself. Only when you conquer your inner being can you begin to understand your world as you perceive it. You cannot love, you cannot experience pain or loss, until you begin to know your inner self.
Me: I see. Um. Thanks for that. I'm going to use the bathroom.
Him: The outer world is merely a projection of your inner world. The bathroom, therefore, becomes real only when you and you alone believe it is.
Me: Gotcha. Arrivederla.
Him: Clearly you do not understand what I am saying.
