"Everything in moderation, nothing in excess" - Socrates

Sacrificing other essential human elements to the exclusive ownership of another makes no sense, and wouldn't be choice!.

And you should note - During his life, Thoreau sought money, fame, and love with far more alacrity than he did "truth"!. So he was BS'ing you anyway!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
