  "OPINIONS
  
  'I am beginning to see how I cling to my opinions, even when sensing how
  wrong they are. Why this fierce clinging?'
  
  'You must realize that you are not your opinions or theories. An opinion is
  acquired accidentally, like picking up one leaf out of hundreds on the
  ground. But you gradually identify with it, that is, you think it tells you
  who you are. So you label yourself a member of Group X or Organization Z.
  Now you fear losing this mere label for you think it means the loss of your
  self. But you are not a label or an opinion. You are much more.'"
