If a man going down into a river,
swollen and swiftly flowing,
is carried away by the current --
how can he help others across?

Sutta Nipata II, 8

That's a great quote. I think it is kind of the nature of our society these days to be so busy that we don't take the time to become silent and listen. We're so caught up in the current that we've forgotten the original intent was to cross the current, not to get swept up in it.

Your right about our society. By nature, it is a rushing river and one often finds themselves swimming upstream.
