By understanding emptiness, you lose interest in all the trappings and beliefs that society builds up and tears down.

“By understanding emptiness, you lose interest in all the trappings and beliefs that society builds up and tears down – political systems, science and technology, global economy, free society, the United Nations. You become like an adult who is not so interested in children’s games.”

– Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

from the book “What Makes You Not a Buddhist”
