O. J. Simpson事件を初めて知った。

p. 124 Do you know how they brainwash people? They repeat something over and over. And that's what we do in this country. Owing thing is good. More money is good. More property is good. More commercialism is good. More is good. More is good.

p. 127 I had been, for much of my life since graduation, pursuing these very things he had been railing against--bigger toys, nicer house. Because I worked among rich and famous athletes, I convinced myself that my needs were realistic, my greed inconsequential compared to theirs.
"Mitch, if you're trying to show off for people at the top, forget it. They will look down at you anyhow. And if you're trying to show off for people at the bottom, forget it. They will only envy you. Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone. "
