"To have been born in the human world yet nonetheless wantonly to pursue a political path or a worldly career, idly spending one’s life as the servant of kings and ministers, encircled by dreams and illusions, and in later ages to proceed toward pitch darkness still without anything upon which to rely, is extremely stupid." - Zen Master Dogen in Shōbōgenzō Shukke-kudoku (On The Merit of Leaving Family Life)
