"A HOAX Do you crave approval from others? Realize what a dreadful
price you pay to society for its crafty smiles and pats on the back.
If a million people assured you that they loved you it would not
reduce your self-doubt one bit. Just what is this part of you that
worries so much about itself? It is something with no real or
permanent existence. It is a hoax. Stop believing in it, for then
you will stop paying its outrageous price."
