"Can you teach me how to be invisible", a young man asked his Master.
"I have a special incantation for you that will do that", his Master answered "but you must practice this teaching day after day."
"I am ready", said the young man.
"When you wake up in the morning simply start saying - I refuse to compete in this capitalistic society"

Funny this.
Exactly the subject of a private exchange with my Happy Tutor, in which I plaintivelly whine about not wishing to participate any longer - don't wanna feed the animals any more.

I think the thing is to get over being embarassed about one's childhood dreams and 'accept the loss of our own illusions'.

Asume that your little world, or the larger one, will indeed end in a generation or two, the community, the planet expended. All the assholes Raptured. How should we then live? Can we fight the good fight fully recognizing the futility? Yes, of course. That is the voice that comes from Poland through K!. Hope is for sissies. The Polish cavalry against the Nazi tanks. There are better and worse ways to lose. What the winners win - would you want it? Maybe we should reread the Stoics.
