The Mass of Men Lead Lives of Quiet Desperation
i open the book with a quote from henry david thoreau that says, the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. i think it actually comes from people trying to hedge so much against avoiding this discomfort, or avoiding this pain, or avoiding taking any risk. I find that most people are kind of stuck in what i call this zone of comfortable complacency between four and six.
