Waking up free is worth a year of life, though you won't know that truth until your life is bought and paid for by the state. Taxes, private investment, both of these roads lead not to a sense of thriving but to a box. Make up for it one day by turning around when you aren't supposed to, by making up lies that hurt powerful beings, by watering trees that are owned by the city. Refreshing yourself by not abiding by the rules is the way to wake up free. You won't know how this applies until you're close to death and by then you won't care, it is the terms & conditions of life that you so haphazardly always agree to.
