If we would be by ourselves then where would the distractions be? If we would be by ourselves then where would happiness be? Society through culture has created all of your happiness and distractions. As soon as you finish with one your mind wonders for another. It never stops.
anyone is in a state of being except humans. Such a state can not be proven or verified. There are many charlatans out there claiming to be enlightened. I think you might find value in UG Krishnamurti's recordings of which are many around. (Not Jiddu Krishnamurti)

I'm sure if Erich Fromm did not have the great career and renown he did, he would feel different - likely worse about his sense of self. There are many who try to achieve but fail in their attempts. Fromm, along with Krishnamurti and all other respected thinkers, regularly conducted interviews, and had acclaim amongst followers. They sold books with their faces on the covers and until their deaths enjoyed the position of profound thinkers. For them to suggest a human should not derive their sense of self from these external rewards and societal positions feels dishonest. They were not invisible as most people are. They were not swallowed up by the void of masses who have few achievements outside of their tiny, oftentimes devalued roles in the world.
I love Fromm and agree with him on so many things but the cultural panel is the slippery slope to aristocracy while Schweitzer was another narcissistic European colonizer.

Pascal said we are unhappy cause we can't be by ourselves with our distractions....is this the "having" mode?
If we would be by ourselves then where would the distractions be?
If we would be by ourselves then where would happiness be?
Society through culture has created all of your happiness and distractions. As soon as you finish with one your mind wonders for another. It never stops.

Good night, is possible translate in portuguese ? Very good the interview
that better be an ironic comb over
But I like "having" things.
I think having mode is a fiction.
At least Fromm is understandable as opposed to philosophers, Kant, Hegel, etc.
Has anyone ever known someone who lives in the "to be" mode?
anyone is in a state of being except humans.
