So great becomes the fear of losing what we have that many of us rush back to hide under the temporary shelter of convention rather than follow the path of self-discovery wherever it might lead. Given adequate time and sufficient fear, we may hide so long that we hardly notice we're slowly suffocating.

Liberation is an evershifting horizon, a total ideology that can never fulfill its promises.
Arianna Huffington
It's time to sleep your way to the top.
Arianna Huffington
