"- In the continuation of my exposition, I want to emphasize discipline. I don't know if you have noticed, but in nature there is a rhythmicity of phenomena. The sun rises every morning; it sets every evening. Grass grows from the ground. Seasons follow one another. You will not see summer after autumn, winter after spring. The sky is up, the earth is down. The moon appears in the evening and disappears in the morning. The trees grow with their tops up. Children are mici la început și mari la sfârșit. Picioarele noastre ajung până la pământ. Pietrișul de pe mun­te cade de sus în jos. Când mergem dimineața la serviciu, ne întâlnim cu aceleași persoane, la aceleași ore. Animalele care au dinți, se folo­sesc de ei pentru a mânca. Animalele care n‑au dinți, nu se folosesc de ei. Când ne e sete, bem apă, când nu, nu. Obser­văm că există gesturi care se repetă. Ritualuri. Lumea merge înainte. Iar dacă ar merge back, the main direction will be that and people will think they are moving forward."
