All You Need is A Real Life
The New Age says all you need is love, but if you wander out of the village and into the forest, you will probably also need some cunning, because there are strange and mysterious forces and presences in the forest. And myths are always showing things like that, and maybe being cunning is like being close to our instincts(and our natural instincts). Even Odysseus when he went on a night sea journey had to disguise himself as a sheep in order to escape from the monster of the one-eyed Cyclops.

I do not particularly like the word ‘work’. Human beings are the only animals who have to work, and I think that is the most ridiculous thing in the world. Other animals make their livings by living, but people work like crazy, thinking they have to in order to stay alive….it would be good to give up that way of thinking and live an easy, comfortable life with plenty of free time….For human beings, a life of such simplicity would be possible if one worked to produce directly his daily necessities. In such a life, work is not work as people generally think of it, but simply doing what needs to be done.

Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy, absent- minded. Someone sober will worry about events going badly. Let the lover be.
