"Back to mumbo jumbo, you may ask? Have you wondered why so many apparently successful famous people kill themselves? A garden can get away with being mumbo jumbo, that is, a mess on first glance, but whose pattern is less formal, more heterogeneous than homogeneous, more a mixture of elements combined with consistency according to the temperament and taste of the gardener. But a human being whose mind and consciousness is mumbo jumbo is another case altogether, often a disaster."
