No, I'm not yet famous and certainly do not have a filmy background to be a guest on this show. Lame joke aside, I happened to see a rerun of an old show with Richard Gere today; someone whom I admire, not for his talents but his Buddhist beliefs. While for most of time, the Hollywood star was a tad too careful, he really opened up on things that were close to his heart - his social work and his Tibetan culture.
One thing that struck a chord was this summarization he made about his beliefs. "No matter who we are or where we live, we all have these vices - anger, jealousy, greed. Whether one is rich and famous or poor, all of us have them and it is these enemies that we have to fight against." - Not exactly those words, but something close to it.
Strong Koffee. Bitter yet true.
