:: not one is demented with the mania of owing things… ::

“I could turn and live with animals,
they are so placid and self-contained.
I stand and look at them long and long;
They do not sweat and whine about their condition.
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins.
Not one is dissatisfied,
not one is demented with the mania of owing things,
Not one kneels to another,
nor to his kind that lived thousands of year ago.
Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth.”
WALT WHITMAN
