Maybe eastern and western youth could unite and ditch the rat race together...

The student learns by daily increment. The Way is learned by daily loss, Loss upon loss until At last comes rest.

By letting go, it all gets done; The world is won by those who let it go! But when you try and try, The world is then beyond the winning.

為學日益，為道日損。損之又損，以至於無為。無為而無不為。取天下常以無事，及其有事，不足以取天下。

道德經, Tao Tê Ching, 章 “poem” 48, (tr.) R B Blakney From The Teachings of the Mystics, Walter T Stace, 1960
