Nietzsche

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself" - Friedrich Nietzsche

Think.

"Work is clearly not healthy for individuals and the products it produces are no longer healthy for the planet.
Yet governments everywhere pursue policies aimed at encouraging more jobs... Despite the dysfuntion of the work ethic it continues to be promoted and praised, accepted and acquiesced to.
It is one of the least challenged aspects of industrial culture."

The Gazelle

“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up.
It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
The Moral:
It doesn’t matter whether you’re a lion or gazelle - when the sun comes up, you’d better be running!”
