"Life has been reduced to a series of long periods of boredom in the office punctuated by high-octane “experiences” which you can rack up on your list of things to do before you die. That’s not really living: that is slavery with the occasional circus thrown in." – Tom Hodgkinson (Brave Old World)
Just saw this quote on a blog and thought people here would like it. I found it inspirational at least!
But..but...psychologists say it's all about "peak experiences". You have to experience the "peak" experience of debt/wage slavery to get these peak experiences. There is no other way.
That sounds way too close to the old combat adage that states, "War is long periods of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror."
Let us continue to work towards lifestyles that are not analogous to slavery or war!
