Life is growth. If we stop growing, technically and spiritually, we are as good as dead. - O Sensei Morihei Ueshiba

I’m *mostly* down with this, but “as good as dead” isn’t accurate, IMO. It’s more like “only potentially alive.”  As long as our internal organs continue processing there’s hope for our lives and our world.
So if you need to stop growing for a bit, that’s OK.  Just don’t quit for good.  There’s so much more to learn.

About:

The idea is that all of human society is based on a power structure that enslaves the trusting/ignorant and rewards the greedy and the dishonest. From government, to business to our individual lives, all of our actions are tailored to further support a system that exploits all of us and wastes our lives in the process. Website666.com endeavors to explain how. Shape-shifting lizards aren't running the world, but they might as well be. Only a sociopath would think they deserve to run things.
