"It’s not just that people sacrifice their love relationships, and the care of their children, to pursue their careers. Something like this has perhaps always existed.

Our edicts and mores—deeply rooted in our religious, cultural, social, political, and legal history—are flawed and foolish. They sit, leaden-bottomed, on our chests until we can't breathe. Like a cast molded around a broken arm, they served a purpose but over time they itch and cramp. Won't do any good to point this out, but it's still true.

Right now, I need to go to bed, but I want to keep playing with my blog. Good night.

I wonder if it's true that inside everyone is a Gyges of Lydia just waiting to find their own golden ring.
