Which somehow leads into a discussion of integrating traumatic experiences and figuring out how to not be that guy everyone is glad to see leave a room.

People who are smarter than us who seem to have a solid grip on the way the world turns are VERY comforting.

Is it possible to opt out of the system? And if you do manage to leave the world of the 9-5 treadmill, what obligations do you have to the rest of the world?
