Some people become very good at playing the game; at learning the rules and using them to their advantage. Some even work to rewrite the rules to further their advantage. The problem is it’s a game; a game in which the winners are made at the expense of the losers, and where participation requires sacrificing the better part of one’s time and energy and typically the greatest good of the greatest numbers to accumulating wealth, comfort and commodities instead of the grander, purer pursuits, truths and common cause collaborations. I want progressive purpose, calling, adventure, romance, creation and mental and spiritual enrichment, and refuse to sell this for the causes of convention created by and large as the measures by which the many self-sacrifice to serve the few.
