Everybody wants to be a Someone. Why? Just ask anyone & they will tell you in so many words: Somebody who is Someone has power. Power is necessary; without it we can’t isolate & protect ourselves from a crushing world of others who want at all cost what we want — which is to become Someone. In short, the idea of becoming someone contains the unquestioned & pervasive belief that whatever measure of safety, security & happiness we may win in this life depends directly upon just how much of a Someone we can succeed at becoming. This is, whether spoken or not, how almost everyone on earth believes. And it is this very belief, this treasure hunt in the tub, that holds the seed of sorrow for all of mankind.
