    If we have an opponent, then more times than not, we are also someone's opponent. Wouldn't that mean we are invincible and vulnerable at the same time?

    "Within You Without You"

    We were talking about the space between us all
    And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
    Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late, when they pass away
    We were talking about the love we all could share
    When we find it, to try our best to hold it there with our love
    With our love, we could save the world, if they only knew

    Try to realise it's all within yourself
    No one else can make you change
    And to see you're really only very small
    And life flows on within you and without you

    We were talking about the love that's gone so cold
    And the people who gain the world and lose their soul
    They don't know, they can't see, are you one of them?

    When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find
    Peace of mind is waiting there
    And the time will come when you see we're all one
    And life flows on within you and without you

    --George Harrison

    I'd be interested in hearing his rationale for that statement.
