According to Buddha

Familiarity with Nature has bred contempt for her ultimate secrets; our relation with her is one of practical business. We tease her, so to speak, to discover the ways in which she may be forced to serve our purposes; we make use of her energies, whose Source yet remains unknown.

all around me are familiar faces
worn out places, worn out faces
bright and early for their daily races
going nowhere, going nowhere

look right through me, look right through me
