"A good man observed that his neighbors carried burdensome sacks around.
One carried a Sack of Gloom, another a Sack of Bitterness, and so on.
Wishing to help them, the good man sought and found a high cliff from which
the burdens could be dropped once and for all. But when telling everyone
the good news he was astonished at how few people ever came to drop their
burdens. He was informed by a wise man, 'Most people cannot live without
the odd thrill provided by their burdens. Freedom is above all such
foolishness.'"
