Quiet Desperation

"Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them".

Henry David Thoreau

"By a seeming fate, commonly called necessity, they are employed, as it says in an old book, laying up treasures which moth and rust will corrupt and thieves break through and steal. It is a fool's life, as they will find when they get to the end of it, if not before."

Needs - what are they?
Multiplication of "needs" beyond these basics results from the progressive discounting of possibilities

Living a life
You don't have to live a life of quiet desperation - you identify your mental spectators — and your interaction with them — you can move beyond vanquished and into the role of victor, a gladiator who rules your spectators in every battle.
