When you view having control of your mind and body some kind of impossible standard for only the materially wealthy then you are truly lost

Na dawn, your arrogance is off the charts and your self delusion infinite.

> Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living.

— Karl Marx, The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte
