The US' approach of underpaying people is a social-darwinist approach to kill the "unworthy of life". I strongly reject such views, but the US is the US, so.

The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

isn't the problem with sisyphus that it rolled back down and he had to repeat. Like if it was infinitely high that would not seem quite as hellish.

I often wonder if we could keep our population going if everyone who wanted to die did at that moment.
