Here’s the thing. Life is an endless series of trainwrecks with only brief commercial like breaks of happiness. This had been the ultimate commercial break.

Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.

(Rousseau)

I wish it weren't so. I feel like I'm barely in control of my life, and I can barely hold it together. I dread getting on the bus every day. I dread meetings with the advisors.

But really, the world is going to shit, in a few decades we'll probably have to bunker down with the canned food and bottled water anyways. And let's not fool ourselves, I'd definitely be in the 99% wiped out within in the initial aftermath. Why am I working towards things that contribute nothing to either my own happiness or my own long-term survival?
