    This is very true. I haven’t ever been the “Crush other people” type but I have sacrificed some things to live a very particular way that is one of the few ways I imagine would work for me to live. It makes me so sad and angry that this is the system we’ve put in place, and how it subjugates the whole world.

      A sad truth is that you can do anything, but you must sacrifice things. I could to x but have to sacrifice being a spouse. I could make hella money, but I’d have to abandon my family/kids. I could do whatever but need to move across the country. Opportunity is there but most people aren’t willing to pay the price. And that’s fair.
